Play the E for 1 1/2 measures, the A2 for a 1/2 measure the A for a 1/4 measure, the G
for a 1/4 measure, the E for a 1/2 measure, the A for a 1/2 measure, the G for a 1/2
measure, and the C7M starts the verse. The last A and G chords are played in 2/4 time,

compared to the rest of the chords in the song.

Verse 1:
                            D5                             C5
The long awaited rains have fallen hard upon the thirsty ground
                                        D5                            C5
They?ve carved their way to where the wild and rushing river can be found
                               D5
And like the rain, I have been carried here
                    E5          A5 G5 C5
To where the river flows yeah
                          D5                             C5
My heart is racing and my knees are weak as walk to the edge
                              D5                             C5
I know there is no turning back once my feet have left the ledge
                           D5                                 C5
And in the rush I hear a voice that?s telling me it time to take the leap of faith
    B5
So here I go

Chorus:
E5             B5            C#5
 I?m diving in I?m going deep
            A5      B5
In over my head I wanna be
E5                 B5              C#5
 Caught in the rush lost in the flow
             A5     B5
In over my head I wanna go
E5               B5
 The river?s deep the river?s wide
C#5         A5    B5
The river?s water is alive
C5        D5             E5 A5 E5

Verse 2:
C5                   D5                             C5
There is a supernatural power in this mighty river?s flow
                           D5                            C5
It can bring the dead to life and it can fill an empty soul
                            D5                             E5
  A5 G5 C5
And give our heart the only thing worth living and worth dying for yeah
C5                    D5                           C5
But we will never the awesome power of the grace of God
                           D5                           C5
Until we let ourselves get swept away into theis holy flood
                                D5
So if you take my hand we?ll close our eyes and count to three
     C5                      B5
And take the leap of faith come on let?s go!
