Verse1: 
B 
There’s a war going on just across the street 
 
There’s a rage that’s burning to an angry beat 
A/B                               E/B 
I can feel the thirst  but there’s no relief 
          B 
We need a river 
 
There’s a sound in the distance like a thunder cloud 
 
Waiting for the rain while the sun beats down 
A/B                            E/B 
Can you feel it rising from the underground? 
          B 
We need a river 
 
Pre-Chorus: 
D#/G                       G#m 
Oh let justice roll like rivers, 
D#/G                       G#m A 
Oh let mercy flow with love,  love 
 
Chorus: 
B                  F#m7 
Come to the water, come to the water of life 
E 
It will never run dry 
B                  F#m7 
Come to the water, run to the water of life 
E 
It will never run dry 
 
Verse2: 
B 
There’s a cry from the child in the factory 
 
There’s a prayer for the prisoners of poverty 
A/B                            E/B 
Save us from the greed and the apathy 
          B 
We need a river 
 
There’s a hope like a flood running down our street 
 
We’re an army of peacemakers on our feet 
A/B                          E/B 
Take us to the place love and mercy meet 
           B 
There is a river
