The River Lyrics

THE RIVER ?? Meredith Andrews
Again a piano song, but it can be picked quite nicely on guitar as well.
The same pattern is used here and there in the song, so when you get it
going you'll pretty much know the whole song. Have fun.
INTRO (picked, I put the chords you could use in brackets)
(Am) (G) (C) (Fmaj7)VERSE begins
Everyone...
VERSE1 (continue picking as above)
Everyone is broken and in need of a Saviour
So He came and was broken for the mocker, for the shamed
Still our eyes are blinded by the culture, by the lies
We can??t see that were filthy, we??re fallen and so dry...
PRE-CHORUS (can be strummed)
But He invites us, can you hear him say
He invites us, hear Him call your name
CHORUS (I'd strum this)
Welcome to the river
Come drink, come wade, come find your very life
Welcome to the river of God
Fmaj7 G Am...straight into interlude
Where your brokenness is washed away
INTERLUDE (like the intro, shorter)
VERSE2 (like before, slightly altered, used all through verse2, almost)
Everywhere is the sorrow and the pain of empty living
You can see it, look in their eyes, all the hopelessness of the world
But look closer, He is right there in the midst of every fear
Living water is the offer, restoration is the call
PRE-CHORUS (same as before)
And He invites us, can you hear Him say
He invites us, hear Him call your name
Welcome to the river
Come drink, come wade, come find your very life
Welcome to the river of God
Where your brokenness is washed away
Find your healing, find your freedom, in the river of God
Find your healing and find your freedom, in the river of God
Your healing here, your freedom here, in the river of God
Your healing here, your freedom here, in the river of God
Welcome to the river
Come drink, come wade, come find your very life
Welcome to the river of God
Where your brokenness is washed
Welcome to this river
Come drink, come wade, come find your very life
Welcome to the river of God
Where your brokenness is washed away
Washed away,yeah
Everyone is broken and in need of a Saviour
