Verse1:
B
There’s a war going on just across the street
There’s a rage that’s burning to an angry beat
A/BE/B
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
A/BE/B
Can you feel it rising from the underground?
B
We need a river
Pre-Chorus:

Oh let mercy flow with love, love

Come to the water, come to the water of life
E
It will never run dry
BF#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/BE/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/BE/B
Take us to the place love and mercy meet
B
There is a river
