Capo 4th fret

Standard (EADGBE)

Deep is the river that I have to cross

Heavy the weight on my shoulder

I have discovered how great is the cost

Of trying alone to cross over

I try and I try but the current's too strong

 It's pulling me under and my strength is gone

 Don't leave me stranded

Chorus

 Rescue me, my God and my King,

Water is rising and I cannot breathe,

 Wrap your arms all around me and

Carry me over (rescue me) [Carry me over]

There is a bridge that is easy to cross

When all of our burdens are lifted

Peace is the land that is waiting for us

Lord, give me faith to believe it

Cause I'm in a storm but I'm willing to fight

 I'll overcome and I will not die with You by my side

Chorus

 I will sail over the oceans and

High over the mountains and

Soar up to the Heavens

Here is my hand is my heart and my soul and my mind

Chorus

 Rescue me, my God and my King,

You are the only one who can save me

 Wrap your arms all around me and

Carry me over (rescue me)

Carry me over (rescue me)

Carry me over (rescue me)
