By the weight of the ocean's cyclical motion they swayed
Em G6* Asus2sus4 Aadd9
And though the eons may pass as slow as the sands of an hourglass
Em G6* Asus4* A
Every grain that we've counted claims that even the mountains can change
Chorus:
G F
Let it come down, let it come down
G
Let it make in you a new river!
F
Let it come down, let it come down
C Em
Let it make in you a new river!

And your stomach goes hollow at the thought that it could swallow you whole
Em G6 Asus2 A
Well, it'll rain for forty days and nights, and nothing you do can slow the rising tides
Em G6
But the river takes her shape from every tempest she abides
A7sus2 Asus2
And like her, you'll be made new again
