Verse 1
The long awaited rains have fallen hard upon the thirsty ground
They've carved their way to where the wild and rushing river can be found
And like the rain, I have been carried here
To where the river flows yeah
My heart is racing and my knees are weak as walk to the edge
I know there is no turning back once my feet have left the ledge
And in the rush I hear a voice that's telling me it time to take the leap of faith
So here I go

1/4 measure each. At the end of the chorus, the E is played for 1 1/2 measures, the A2

measure, the G for a 1/4 measure, the E for a 1/2 measure, the A for a 1/2 measure, the G
for a 1/2 measure, and the Cmaj7 starts the next verse and is played for a whole
measure. The last A and G chords are played in 2/4 time, so even though they are played for a

Chorus
I'm diving in I'm going deep
In over my head I wanna be
Caught in the rush lost in the flow
In over my head I wanna go
The river's deep the river's wide
The river's water is alive
So sink or swim I'm diving in
Verse 2
There is a supernatural power in this mighty river's flow
It can bring the dead to life and it can fill an empty soul
And give our heart the only thing worth living and worth dying for yeah
But we will never the awesome power of the grace of God
Until we let ourselves get swept away into this holy flood
So if you take my hand we'll close our eyes and count to three
And take the leap of faith come on let's go!
(Chorus)
Bridge
(Played the same way as the chorus)
So sink or swim I'm diving in
So sink or swim I'm diving in
So sink or swim
I'm diving in
Whoa

(I'm diving in, come on let's go!)
(Chorus 2x)
