[C#m] [G]
[A] [Em] In [Bm] the ever [C#m]-shifting waters [G] of the river of [C#] this life,
I was [G] swimming, seeking [C#m] comfort, [G] I was wrestling waves [C#m] to fight.
[Bm] A boulder I [C#m] could cling to, [G] a stone to hold [D#m] me fast,
[C#m] Where I'd let the [G] fretful waters [F#m] of this river on [C#] me pass.
[B]
So I [Bm]
found [C#m] an anchor, [G] a blessed [C#] resting place,
A [Bm] trusty rock I called my [C#] savior, [G] for there I would [C#m] be safe.
[Bm] From the river of its [C#] dangers, and [G] I proclaimed my rock [D#m] divine,
And
[C#] I prayed to it, [G] protect [F#m] me, and the rock [Em]
replied,
[B]
[Em] God [B]
is a [E] river, not [B] just a stone.
God is a wild raging rapid, and a [E] slow meandering flow.
God [A] is a deep and narrow passage, [G#] a peaceful sandy [C#m] shore.
[C#] God [A] is a river [B] swimmer, [Em] [B] so let [G] it go.
[C#m]
[A] Still [C#m]
[B] [C#m]
[G] [C#]
I [G] clung to my [C#] rock tightly, [G] with conviction in [C#m] my arms,
Never [G] looking at [C#m] the stream to keep my [G] mind and thoughts [C#m] apart.
But the [G] river kept [C#m] on coming, kept [G] on tugging at [D#m] my legs,
[C#m] Till at last my fingers [G] faltered, [F#m] and I was swept [B] away.
[C#]
[B]
[C#] So [A] I'm going with the [Em] flow now, these [B] relentless [C#m] twists and bends,
[E]
Acclimating to [A] the motion, [F#m] and the sense of being [B] led.
[A]
And this river is [Em] like my body now, it carries me [C#m] along,
[E] Through the ever-changing [A]
scenes, and by [F#m] the rocks that sing
[B] this song.
[E] God [A]
[B] is a [E] river, not just [B] a stone.
God is a wild raging rapid, and [E] a slow meandering flow.
[A] God is a deep and narrow passage, [G#m] a peaceful sandy [C#m] shore.
[C#]
[A] God is a river [B] swimmer, so let it [C#m] go.
[E]
[A] God is the river [B] swimmer, [Em] so let it [A] go.
