G
Deep is the river that I have to cross
Em                       D
Heavy the weight on my shoulder
G
I have discovered how great is the cost
Em                        D
Of trying alone to cross over
C            Em           D              C
I try and I try but the current's too strong
                 Em       D              C
It's pulling me under and my strength is gone
               Em    D
Don't leave me stranded

Chorus:
       G      Em         D
Rescue me, my God and my King,
Em        C       G            D
Water is rising and I cannot breathe,
         G      Em        D
Wrap your arms all around me and
Em      C   G   D          Em      C   G  D 
Carry me over (rescue me) [Carry me over] 

G
There is a bridge that is easy to cross
Em                           D
When all of our burdens are lifted
G
Peace is the land that is waiting for us
Em                        D
Lord, give me faith to believe it
C              Em             D          C
Cause I'm in a storm but I'm willing to fight
          Em      D           C              Em   D
I'll overcome and I will not die with You by my side

[Chorus]

         G   Em           D
I will sail over the oceans and
G       Em            D 
High over the mountains and 
G     Em             D
Soar up to the Heavens
C                                               D
Here is my hand is my heart and my soul and my mind

[Chorus]

       G     Em           D
Rescue me, my God and my King,
Em          C        G            D
You are the only one who can save me
         G      Em        D
Wrap your arms all around me and 
Em      C   G   D
Carry me over (rescue me)
Em      C   G   D
Carry me over (rescue me) 
Em      C   G   D
Carry me over (rescue me)
