Preview (partial song; no chords displayed)
ok, steven curtis tunes his guitar down a half step for this song (as he does
with most of his songs) and plays it in the key of E. i'm a huge fan, and have
seen him several times in concert. I know that this is exactly what he plays.

C
The long awaited rains
D
Have fallen hard upon the thirsty ground
C
Have carved their way to where
D
The wild and rushing river can be found
C
And like the rains
D
I have been carried here to where the river flows, yeah
C D
My heart is racing and my knees are weak
As I walk to the edge
C
I know there is no turning back
D
Once my feet have left the ledge
C D
And in the rush I hear a voice
C
That's telling me it's time to take a leap of faith
B
So here I go!
E B C#m A B
I'm diving in, I'm going deep, in over my head I want to be
E B C#m A B
Caught in the rush, lost in the flow, in over my head I want to go
E B C#m A B
The river’s deep, the river’s wide, the river’s water is alive,
C D
so sink or swim I'm diving in
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 a heart the only thing
Worth living and worth dying for
But we will never know the awesome power
Of the grace of God
Until we let ourselves get swept away
Into this holy flood
So if you'll take my hand
We'll close our eyes and count to three
And take the leap of faith
Come on let's go!

so sink or swim I'm diving in, so sink or swim I'm diving in
C D
so sink or swim I'm diving in
if there any typos let me know.
