          F     C A#sus           F     C A#sus
If you're hurting, I'll take your pain
        F       C  A#sus             Dm          C A#sus
If your life is dry and weary, I'll bring the rain
          F     C A#sus           Dm     C A#sus
If you're searching, then search no more
          F         C   A#sus         F
If you're drifting on an ocean, I'll be the shore

	          Dm                                 C
	I see the scars that you hide, I've kept the tears that you've cried
	          A#sus
	They were not in vain
	C         Dm                               Am
	And every prayer that you've prayed I have treasured and saved
	  Gm              C
	My love will never change

                          F      C A#sus
If you're looking for the river
                       F      C A#sus
That runs with healing water
                  D
Bring yourself to me
           Gm               C         A#sus
And I will wash you in endless peace

	C                         A#sus
	I'm your Saviour and I'll save you tonight
	          F           A#sus F               Gm
	If you're blinded by the darkness I'll be the light
	                   Dm
	If you're hopeless I'll be your faith
	          Gm                 C
	If you're lost I'll lead the way

                          F      C A#sus
If you're looking for the river

Bring yourself to me

And I will wash you in endless peace
