RIVERBANK BLUES (Written in response to a sermon on Joshua chapter 3) G7 C7 D D7 G B7 My destination lies just over the river; C C7 D7 G the road I'm travelling runs right through. B7 I feel that I've been on this journey for ever, A7 G/D Edim F D/F# trying to walk the way that you've told me to. G B7 You've brought me safely through the hills and the desert, C C7 D7 G I've seen the things that you can do. Am D7 Why should I doubt you now? Yet - G Am D7 don't want to get my feet wet - G Am D7 G B7 I think I've got the river bank blues. E There is no road to the left or right. A It's pointless going back the way I came D and as I ponder through the foggy night, G G/F C/E G/D what looked like different choices all turn out to be the same. C B7 I hope by morning things will seem so much clearer - C C7 D7 G the way ahead in plain er view. Am D7 Don't want to turn a round now, G Am D7 but can't see where I'm bound now - G Am D7 G I'm sure I've got those river bank blues. (8 bars instrumental interlude) E A D G G/F C/E G/D C B7 I'm either trapped here by this river for ever C C7 D7 G or take the risk and wade on through. Am D7 I want to move a head now, G Am D7 but can't see where to tread now - G Am D7 G G7 Lord, save me from these river bank blues.
