[C#] _ In [Bm] the ever [C#m] shifting waters of [A] the river of this [C#] life,
I was swimming seeking comfort, _ I [D] was [A] wrestling waves to [C#] find
A _ [Bm] boulder I [C#m] could cling to, _ [D] a stone to [A] hold me [F#m]
fast,
_ _ _ [A] Where [C#] I'd let the [F#m] fretful _ waters of this river around [C#] me _ pass _
_ _ [B] _ _ _ _ _ _
_ _ [Bm] And so I found [C#] an anchor, _ [D] a blessed resting [C#]
place,
A [Bm] trusty rock I called [C#m] my savior, _ for [A] there I would be safe
[C#] _ From [Bm] the river and its [C#]
dangers, and I [D] proclaimed my rock [D#]
divine,
_ _ _ _ _ _ [C#]
And I prayed to it, [G] protect me, [F#m] _
and the rock [C#] _ replied,
_ [B] _
_ _ _ _ _ _ _ _
_ _ _ _ _ God is a [Bm] river, _ _ [E] _ _
_ _ _ _ not [B] just a stone, _ _ _ God is a wild raging _ rapids,
And [E] a slow meandering flow, _ [A] God is a deep and narrow passage, _ _
A [G#m] peaceful sandy [C#] shoal, _
[A] God is a river _ [B] swimmer, _
[Em] _ _ [B] _ _ so let [C#] _
go

_ _ _ [C#] _ _ _ _ _
[Bm] _ _ _ [C#m] _ _ _ _ [G] _
_ [A] _ _ _ _ [C#m] _ Still [Bm] I clung to my [C#m] rock tightly, with [D] conviction [A] in my [C#] arms,
[Bm] Never looking at [C#m] the stream to keep [D] my mind from thoughts of [C#m] heart, _ _
[Bm] But the river kept [C#m] on coming, kept [D] on [A] tugging at my [D#] legs,
[F#m] _ _ _ _ [C#m] Till at last my [A] fingers _ faltered, and I was swept [C#] away _ _ _ _
_ _ [B] _ _ _ _ _ _
_ [A] So I'm going with the flow [E] now, these [B] relentless twists [C#m] and bends,
_ [E] _ _ Acclimating to [A] the motion, _ [B] and a sense of being led,
_ _ [A] And this river is like [E] my body now, it [B] carries me [C#] along,
_ [E] Through the ever changing [A] _ scenes, and by the rocks that [C#] sing this _ _ song
_ [B] _ _ _
_ _ [A] _ _ God is [Bm] _ _ _ _ a river, _
_ [E] _ _ _ _ _ _ _
not just [B] a stone, _ _ _ God is a wild raging _ rapids,
And [E] a slow meandering flow, _ [A] God is a deep and narrow _ passage,
_ [G#m] A peaceful sandy [C#] shoal, _ [Em] God [A] is a river _ [B] swimmer, _ so let [C#] go
_ _ _ [E] _ _ God [A]
is the river [B] _ _ swimmer, _ _ _ _ _ _ _ _ _
_ _ so [A] let go _
