Mason Jennings - How Deep is That River Chords and Lyrics
I think this is a beautiful song. I couldn’t find a transcription for it, so I made one. Kudos to Mason Jennings for being such a great songwriter! If you want to play it in the key of the recording, capo the 1st fret.
HOW DEEP IS THAT RIVER
Mason Jennings
D
How deep is that river
How deep is that river
G D
I don't wanna know where it's coming from
G D
I don't need to know where it's going to
G D
Before I place my trust in you
A D
I just wanna know how deep
D
God said to me what he said to the tree
G D
Grow up towards the light and one day you'll see
My son Jesus, what did he say
G D
Love the Lord your God and God'll show you the way
Do unto others like you wanna be done
G A D
Look deep in your heart and know that we are one
Sing...
D
How deep is that river
How deep is that river
G D
I don't wanna know how fast it flows
G D
I don't need to know if it's safe to swim
G D
Before I put my trust in Him
A D
I just wanna know how deep
D
God came down in the cool of the day
G D
Stirred up the waters and began to play
Before He knew it, Man was on the land
G D
With a thought in his head, and a gun in his hand
God saw that Man was just a little too rough
G A D
So He gave him a heart and filled it up with love
Sing...
D
How deep is that river
How deep is that river, yes
G D
I don't wanna know if it has a name
G D
I don't need to know how to cross it yet
G D
Before I get my spirit wet
A D
I just wanna know how deep
D
A few years back I lost my way
G D
I was deep in the woods, I began to pray
I came to a river and I sat on its bank
G D
It was cool and clear, I have Jesus to thank
I drank that water, yes I drank it up
G A D
Now every day I come back and fill my cup
Sing...
D
How deep is that river
How deep is that river, yes
G D
I don't wanna know if it's yours or mine
G D
I don't need to know if it's east or west
G D
Before I put my fears to rest
A D
I just wanna know how deep
D
How deep is that river
How deep is that river, yes
G D
I don't wanna know where it's coming from
G D
I don't need to know where it's going to
G D
Before I place my trust in you
A D
I just wanna know how deep
A D
I just wanna know how deep
A D
I just wanna know how deep
