Healing Waters

No 60 is not noisy but fits the “slow song” paradigm of the P&W genre.  It is “Healing Waters” by Chris Sprenger and Eric Thomasen.

I’m not sure an assembly would cope with the intervals here.  The version on the CD is too saccharine for my cynical ears, but as previously noted, it might suit an American sensibility. It would benefit from a much more stripped back arrangement, I suspect, but I regrettably have largely followed the lead of the recorded version in my backing.  You could try this piano instrumental for size.

Sheet music is available at audiblefaith. Lyrics and chords are here, but they don’t match the published ones – they might be better.

Verse 1

Lord, I’ve come to touch Your face

Just to feel Your warm embrace

Come descend, Lord, like a dove

Touch my heart with Your love for me,  for me.

Chorus

Let Your healing waters flow in this place
Let Your healing waters flow in this place
You’re the giver of life giving new life
You’re the living Word of God
Let Your healing waters flow in this place
Let Your healing waters flow in this place
Mighty waves of power
Followed by Your grace
Let Your healing waters flow in this place

Verse 2
Standing in this place
Even now You’re giving grace
We have seen and we believe
It’s by faith that we receive
We receive

Chorus
