D/F#   G                         D   Em
I have hope that is my anchor
         Bm                                             Em             G
The wind and waves may rage, but His Word keeps on holding me
D/F#   G                            D   Em
I have peace beyond all measure
              G
I have found a joy that will never fade away

[Chorus]
                       D                                                   G
And I’ve got joy down in my soul, I’ve got a peace that won’t let go
                    D/F#   Bm                    Em               G
Like a river rising higher, I’ve got joy, I’ve got joy

[Verse 2]
D/F#   G                         D   Em
I know mercy that has triumphed
       Bm                                   Em                      G
And now I stand redeemed, His blood has washed me clean
D/F#   G                                           D   Em
I know the Man who’s conquered sorrows
                G
He’s the joy I’ve found that will never fade away

[Chorus]
                       D                                                   G
And I’ve got joy down in my soul, I’ve got a peace that won’t let go
                    D/F#   Bm                    Em               G
Like a river rising higher, I’ve got joy, I’ve got joy

[Bridge 1]
                    D/F#
The river is rising, rising, rising
                     G
The river is rising, rising, rising
                     A
The river is rising, rising, rising
                     Bm
The river of joy, the river of joy

[Bridge 2]
                     D/F#
It’s over my head, it’s over my head
                      G
It’s over my head, it’s over my head
                      A
It’s over my head, it’s over my head
                     Bm
The river of joy, the river of joy
