Come To The Water

by Chris Tomlin

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