G D A Bm
G D A Bm Bm
[Verse]
G D We came to the water A Bm Sinners all were we G D For we’d heard a man could be reborn A Bm And then he’d be set free G D Oh I’ve never done hard time A Bm But I’ve had a few G D And some of the wrongs that I have done A Bm Would make you shift in your Sunday pew G D And I am oft’ intoxicated A Bm On sorrow and my shame G D And guilt makes a right fine prison cell A Bm When you’re afraid of your own name
[Instrumental]
G D A Bm
G D A Bm Bm
G D We came to the stream of life A Bm As clear as glass and as cold as ice G D And my heart sank as I looked in A Bm But I’d a pint of faith and I’d rolled my dice G D On the water so sweet that was just ankle deep A Bm But we had prisons to bury G D So we rolled our clothes and braced for the cold A Bm To leave all that we had to carry G D And we dammed the water that frees the damned A Bm And we dug the stones from the riverbed G D In the stream of life we formed a coffin A Bm And I’d be damned if that water didn’t cover my head
Repeat intro x1 (SOLO see below)
G D We drowned the young and old in that sea of grace A Bm But we all rose the same G D We splashed like children, we did, in that sea of grace A Bm And we danced in the forest like flames G D Grace was enough and grace is enough A Bm And grace always will be G D More than enough to change an old man young A Bm And an ankle-deep stream to a sea G D Grace can’t be bought and grace can’t be sold A Bm Not for the wages of a thousand days G D Grace is the gift of a King who longs A Bm For His children to see they’re not slaves G D And grace gets deeper the more you trust A Bm That the King is good and the King is just G D A And that naked forgiveness is stronger than the grave G D And sometimes grace takes clearing stones A Bm With a weary heart and aching bones G D A To prove to that new child it was worth it all G D Roll away the stones A Bm Roll away the stones G D Roll away the stones A And come alive
