There came a sound from Heaven, as a rushing, mighty wind;
It filled their hearts with singing, and gave them peace within;
The prophet gave this promise: ‘The spirit will descend, 
and from your inner being, a river with no end'.

 
Chorus:
 
(C) There (F) is   a   (C) river
 
 And it flows from (C+) deep  with(F)in,
 
(G) There (F) is a  (G) fountain
 
 That frees the (G+) soul from (C) sin.
 
(C) Come (F) to this (C) water
 
 There is a (C+) vast sup(F)ply,
 
(G) There (F) is a (G) river
 
(F) That (G)never (G7) shall  run (C) dry.    (A7)

She was (D) drawing (D+) from the (G) well,

And her soul was (A+) bound for (D) hell.
 
Oh, but (D) then she (G) met the (D) master
 
And he (D) told her (D+) of her (G) sin,
 
And he (A) said if you'll (G) drink this (A) water
 
(G)You'll (A) never (A7) thirst  (D) again.

There (D) is  a (D+) vast (G) supply,
 
(A) There (G) is a (A) river
 
(G)That (A) never (A7) shall run (D) dry.
