There Is A River

There came a sound from Heaven, as a rushing, mighty wind;
It filled their hearts with singing, and gave them peace within;
The prophet gave this promise: ‘The spirit will descend,
and from your inner being, a river with no end'.


Chorus:

(C) There (F) is   a   (C) river

 And it flows from (C+) deep  with(F)in,

(G) There (F) is a  (G) fountain

 That frees the (G+) soul from (C) sin.

(C) Come (F) to this (C) water

 There is a (C+) vast sup(F)ply,

(G) There (F) is a (G) river

(F) That (G)never (G7) shall  run (C) dry.    (A7)


Verse:

And there (D) was a (G) thirsty (D) woman

She was (D) drawing (D+) from the (G) well,

See, her (A) life was (G) ruined and (A) wasted

And her soul was (A+) bound for (D) hell.

Oh, but (D) then she (G) met the (D) master

And he (D) told her (D+) of her (G) sin,

And he (A) said if you'll (G) drink this (A) water

(G)You'll (A) never (A7) thirst  (D) again.


Chorus:

(D) There (G) is a (D) river

And it (D) flows from (D+) deep (G) within,

(A) There (G) is a (A) fountain

That (A) frees the (A+) soul from (D) sin.

Oh, (D) come (G) to this (D) river

There (D) is  a (D+) vast (G) supply,

(A) There (G) is a (A) river

(G)That (A) never (A7) shall run (D) dry.
