[Verse]
G D
We came to the water
A Bm
Sinners all were we
G D
For we’d heard a man could be reborn
A Bm
And then he’d be set free
G D
Oh I’ve never done hard time
A Bm
But I’ve had a few
G D
And some of the wrongs that I have done
A Bm
Would make you shift in your Sunday pew
G D
And I am oft’ intoxicated
A Bm
On sorrow and my shame
G D
And guilt makes a right fine prison cell
A Bm
When you’re afraid of your own name
[Instrumental]

G D A Bm Bm
G D
We came to the stream of life
A Bm
As clear as glass and as cold as ice
G D
And my heart sank as I looked in
A Bm
But I’d a pint of faith and I’d rolled my dice
G D
On the water so sweet that was just ankle deep
A Bm
But we had prisons to bury
G D
So we rolled our clothes and braced for the cold
A Bm
To leave all that we had to carry
G D
And we dammed the water that frees the damned
A Bm
And we dug the stones from the riverbed
G D
In the stream of life we formed a coffin
A Bm
And I’d be damned if that water didn’t cover my head
Repeat intro x1 (SOLO see below)
G D
We drowned the young and old in that sea of grace
A Bm
But we all rose the same
G D
We splashed like children, we did, in that sea of grace
A Bm
And we danced in the forest like flames
G D
Grace was enough and grace is enough
A Bm
And grace always will be
G D
More than enough to change an old man young
A Bm
And an ankle-deep stream to a sea
G D
Grace can’t be bought and grace can’t be sold
A Bm
Not for the wages of a thousand days
G D
Grace is the gift of a King who longs
A Bm
For His children to see they’re not slaves
G D
And grace gets deeper the more you trust
A Bm
That the King is good and the King is just
G D A
And that naked forgiveness is stronger than the grave
G D
And sometimes grace takes clearing stones
A Bm
With a weary heart and aching bones
G D A
To prove to that new child it was worth it all
G D
Roll away the stones
A Bm
Roll away the stones
G D
Roll away the stones
A
And come alive
