Verse 1
(Bb)                            C                          Bb
The long awaited rains have fallen hard upon the thirsty ground
                                   C                            Bb
And carved their way to where the wild and rushing river can be found
                                  C                             D
And like the rains I have been carried here to where the river flows,

yeah
(Bb)                        C                               Bb
My heart is racing and my knees are weak as I walk to the edge
                             C                              Bb
I know there is no turning back once my feet have left the ledge
                            C                                 Bb
And in the rush I hear a voice that's telling me it's time to take the
                   A     D
leap of faith so here I go

Chorus
D          A             Bm              G       A       D
I'm diving in, I'm going deep in over my head, I want to be
              A                 Bm               G       A      D 
Caught in the rush, lost in the flow, in over my head, I want to go
            A                 Bm                G     A   Bb
The river's deep, the river's wide, the river's water is alive
           C                D    intro riff
So sink or swim, I'm diving in

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