  • (Oh...)
    The long awaited rains
    Have fallen hard upon the thirsty ground
    And carved their way to where
    The wild and rushing river can be found
    And like the rains
    I have been carried to where the river flows, yeah
    My heart is racing, and my feet are weak
    As I walk to the edge
    I know there is no turing back
    Once my feet have left the ledge
    And in the rush I hear a voice
    That's telling me to take a leap of faith
    So here I go

    [Chorus]
    I'm diving in, I'm going deep, in over my head I want to be
    Caught in the rush, lost in the flow, in over my head I want to go
    The river's deep, the river's wide, the river's water is alive
    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, yeah
    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 take my hand
    We'll close our eyes and count to three

    And take the leap of faith
    Come on let's go

    [Chorus]

    [Bridge]
    Oh...Come on let's go

    [Chorus: x2] Writer/s: BEN CHAPMAN, FRANCESCA LONGRIGG
