[Verse 1]
          F
This goes out to every outcast
         Am
To the just don’t quite fit in
        Bb
Every wrong way runaway rebel
    Csus
So ashamed of where you’ve been
          F
This goes out to every searcher
         Am
Trying to fill that empty space
       Bb
Well, you’re searching
 days are over now
      Csus
Everything’s about to change

[Chorus]
F               Bb          F
Come on down to the living water
F                      C
Waves of mercy washing over you
Dm                       Bb
No more strangers, only sons
      F
 and daughters
      F           C/E    Dm
Come down to the living water
     Bb  F
And rise up new

[Post-chorus]
F C/E Dm  Bb F

[Verse 2]
          F
Have you heard about
 a man named Jesus?
         Am
He’s the way, the truth,
 the life
           Bb
Stretched out His arms
on a rugged cross
     Csus
And paid every sinner’s price
     F
So when you’re tired of
all your running
          Am
You don’t have to run no more
         Bb
You can leave it all behind you
      Csus
Just believe and be reborn

[Chorus]
F               Bb          F
Come on down to the living water
F                      C
Waves of mercy washing over you
Dm
No more strangers,
       Bb       F
only sons and daughters
      F           C/E    Dm
Come down to the living water
     Bb  F
And rise up new

[Bridge]
C  Dm                Bb   F
Oh-oh, this is your invitation
C  Dm            Bb      F
Oh-oh, no more lost and alone
C  Dm                Bb   F
Oh-oh, this is your invitation
C                  Dm
Hear your Father saying
   Bb
“Welcome home”

[Verse 3]
          F
See that cross up on the steeple
           Am
Hear that sweet forgiveness song
          Bb
Come and join the Jesus people
         Csus
This is where your heart belongs
(Oh-Oh-Oh)
