   I built an altar made of stones on the riverside
D                              Bm   /  /  /  | G /  /  /  |
   I gave my offering to the Lord

   I felt the heat of glory fall on the riverside

As I cried on the riverside   Oh I cried on the riverside

          From the mu-----------d and clay
                   D                 Bm      G
          My sin wa-----------shed a-way,  down in the river

   When I return there sweet-someday to the riverside
D                         Bm            G        D
    Into the everlasting arms (e--ver--las--ting arms)
                                  Bm                  G /
