He’s
A 
calling out your name

REPEAT INTRO
 
Verse
E 
It flows like
C#m 
the Mississippi
A 
from the giver
E 
of endless grace
B 
Everyone
C#m 
is welcome here to
A 
drive into
E 
the waves

So leave the quest

back on the shore

And run with wild
C#m 
abandon,
A 
wait no more!
 
REPEAT CHORUS
 
Bridge
 
Every
F#m 
burden, every scar let the
C#m 
waters wash a
B 
way
 
No matter
F#m 
who you were before
 
You be
A 
long to Christ today
 
REFRAIN
 
As I went
E 
down to the river to pray
 
studying
B 
about that good ol’
E 
way
 
And who shall wear the robe and crown; good
B 
Lord
A 
show me the
E 
way
B 
O sister
E 
let’s go down, let’s go
A 
down, come on
E 
down
B 
O sister
E 
let’s go down,
E 
down to the
A 
river to
E 
pray
