The shining river from the throne of God,

____ G____ A____D______G________A
Will bring life to the saltiest sea.

____D________Em________________A____ D
The brackish sweetened and the tepid chilled,

__ G______A__ Bm______G__ A__ D
It brings new life to you and me.

Em____________________F#m__
River flow, come flow over me,

Em__________________A
Till at last I understand.

____D______ Em____________ A______ G
And keep on flowing as the life in me,

____G____ A__ Bm______ G__A__D
And touch the shore of every land.

The shining river from the throne of God,
Will quench the thirst of every man.
Where wealth and power and possessions fail,
It takes just one sip from His hand.

River flow, come flow over me,
Till at last I understand.
And keep on flowing as the life in me,
And touch the shore of every land.

The shining river from the throne of God,
A symbol of our life in you.
Oh Jesus, everlasting, living word,
You brighten all our darkest hues.

River flow, come flow over me,
Till at last I understand.
And keep on flowing as the life in me,
And touch the shore of every land.
