E 
Over the mountains and the sea

Your river runs with love for me, 
F#                    A
And I will open up my heart,
            B            E 
And let the Healer set me free. 

E
Im happy to be in the truth, 
G#
And I will daily lift my hands,

For i will always sing,
A                 B
Of when Your love came down.

I could sing of Your love forever
