Steven Curtis Chapman - Dive Lyrics






The long awaited rains
Have fallen hard upon the thirsty ground
And carved their way to where
The wild and rushing river can be found
And like the rain
I have been carried here to where the river flows, yeah
My heart is racing and my knees are weak
As I walk to the edge
I know there is no turning back
Once my feet have left the ledge
And in the rush I hear a voice
That's telling me it's time to take the leap of faith
So here I go

I'm diving in, I'm going deep, in over my head I want to be
Caught in the rush, tossed in the flow, in over my head I want to go
The river's deep, the river's wide, the river's water is alive
So sink or swim, I'm diving in (I'm diving in...)

There is a supernatural power
In this mighty river's flow
It can bring the dead to life
And it can fill an empty soul
And give a heart the only thing
Worth living and worth dying for, yeah
But we will never know the awesome power
Of the grace of God
Until we let ourselves get swept away
Into this holy flood
So if you'll take my hand
We'll close our eyes and count to three
And take the leap of faith
Come on let's go

I'm diving in, I'm going deep, in over my head I want to be
Caught in the rush, tossed in the flow, in over my head I want to go
The river's deep, the river's wide, the river's water is alive
So sink or swim, I'm diving in, yeah
I'm diving in, I'm diving in, yeah
I'm diving in, yeah, here I go
Come on let's go

I'm diving in, I'm going deep, in over my head I want to be
Caught in the rush, tossed in the flow, in over my head I want to go
The river's deep, the river's wide, the river's water is alive
So sink or swim, I'm diving in

I'm diving in, I'm going deep, in over my head I want to be
Caught in the rush, tossed in the flow, in over my head I want to go
The river's deep, the river's wide, the river's water is alive
So sink or swim, I'm diving in

So sink or swim, I'm diving in
So sink or swim, I'm diving in
I'm diving in
I'm diving in
I'm diving in

  1. C.... M....

    I first heard this song on a Christian music sampler CD about 20 years ago and was so blown away that I bought the album Speechless, which is one of my favourites. The song Dive is still as fresh musically and lyrically now as it was then....and a challenge/ encouragement to keep taking risks of faith...

  2. S.... W....

    Why does this sound like he's gonna commit suicide on that bridge?

    S.... W....

    It's a reference to this
    John 7:38
    "He who believes in Me, as the Scripture said, 'From his innermost being will flow rivers of living water.'"

    S.... W....

    @Nowan Loka I know but it sounds ...anyway

  3. D.... 1....

    You have no idea how much this song had an impact on me 😊!!

  22. K.... W....

    How to make a cheap music video: splice the singer with a bunch of file footage.

  23. L.... ....

  27. N.... Z....

    Oh my God this was my childhood completely!!!!

  28. P.... S....

    This man is a genius. I love his style and the quality of his music and lyrics. I have such good memories of these older songs, I get chills still today when I hear this song. So good. I wish there were more sincerely poignant and powerful Jesus artists. :)

  29. B.... S....

    I'm so disappointed in you Steven.

  30. C.... P....

    hello 2018 12/11

  31. A.... C....

    Boy!😁 That song makes me feel like dancing! I'm diving in.

  32. G.... B....

    Father Mike told me when i was a child, that I should "dive" into the heart of Jesus. Then he played this song. Now I listen to this song when I'm ready to bang cause it sounds like he's talking about diving into a vagina.

  33. J.... R....

    I've enjoyed this song since getting the CD about 10 years ago. I heard it again today on my truck CD player, cruising down the highway at 80 MPH (hey, some things just go great together). Now seeing the video for the first time. Thanks Steve and YouTube!

  34. J.... P....

    Yay god

  42. M.... ....

    Such a great song. Why can’t we have more worship music like this in 2018? It’s all copy and paste nowadays. At the very least, let’s bring back the late 90s and early 2000s worship music.

  43. C.... H....

    This song Brings me back to my childhood ❤️

  44. J.... H....

  46. D.... S....

    I am well behind the times, and have just recently seen this video and heard the song! (Sorry!) Its message is clear, joyful, exuberant and powerful. I get it! I guess because I have had to do some 'diving' and have proved God to be faithful. Amen.

  47. J.... C....

    that's such a tall bridge to jump from at [02:31], it adds an extra dimension to the lyrics

  48. M.... W....

    So glad I rediscovered Steven Curtis Chapman! I heard the great adventure song on I can only imagine movie and it made me remember all his great songs.

  49. B.... ....

    I just can say I LOVE this song... Besides the lyrics, it sounds like my childhood :'3

  63. R.... P....

    This was definitely ahead of it’s time!!!!

  64. J.... H....

    I remember when I got the album on CD as a kid with my portable cd player and this song coming on. I was hooked as a kid and would replay it over and over. My one memory is feeling so cool walking to my friends house on a cold day and just jamming out to this song with my portable cd player.

  65. b.... j....

    Love you Steve. Go. Again GO!

  66. b.... ....

    I love this song it feels nostalgic in a way cause it came out in 1999 which is when I was born so it gives off a late 90s into the early 2000s vibe by just the way it sounds and it is a great Christian song; Amen and Hallelujah

  67. C.... B....

    Im 21 years old now and I saw him on the 'in this moment tour' what seems like many years ago. I still remember some of it, including this being his last song. He put on a floatie and played his guitar at the same time, I also remember that his oldest son sings the "woah-wo-oh-woah-oh". Another thing I remember some of.. he had a counter type thing on the screen that went up one every so seconds or minutes, which stood for kids perishing across the world or something like that and throughout the show buckets were passed around and money donated. Then got his autograph afterwards.

  68. O.... 2....

    How groovy is this!

  69. C.... ....

    19K subs? His message deserves infinitely more. Hallelujah anyhow!!

  70. S.... S....

    Memories♥️

  71. T.... ....

    This song is still great!

  72. K.... D....

    This is magical god is alive!!

  73. H.... ....

    i love this song sssoooooooooo much. i have been wanting to listen to this song but i couldnt find tge right title
    "the rivers are deep,the rivers are wide,it over my head im going in,im diving in,im diving in. it over mt head im going in" Thank u!!!

  74. J.... W....

    The river's deep, the river's wide, the river's water is alive!

  75. J.... W....

    If you're in doubt, just search Steven Curtis Chapman, man. That's a meme rhyme. Don't care. So many great songs, dude. This is linked to a specific time of my formative years and it won't ever not be that to me. It's great to me, I'll be clear. It can be anything to you. It will always be a great song.

  76. S.... ....

    Does anyone know where that cool glowing city is?

  77. L.... ....

    The best Christian & Inspirational song...Ever!!:)) Will always be my favorite...without a doubt.
