[Intro] 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
