Something in the Water

Written by

 The other night my wife and I were watching the Country Music Award and one of the Artists was singing a song – Diane looked at me and asked —  “Can you here the words of the song”.    I am extremely bad on Words and Songs – if it is not Carman or Neil Diamond – forget it…   the words just do not flow through this seasoned head, normally the Music is drowning out the words for me. (Except for maybe the words “Jesus take the Wheel” – I get those)
           So as I sat there the Words started coming and I could not believe what she was singing about… this was on National TV – with Millions watching and it was Country Music.    Below is the song – enjoy the words:

 CARRIE UNDERWOOD LYRICS

“Something In The Water”

He said, “I’ve been where you’ve been before.

Down every hallway’s a slamming door.

No way out, no one to come and save me.

Wasting a life that the Good Lord gave me.

 

Then somebody said what I’m saying to you,

Opened my eyes and told me the truth.”

They said, “Just a little faith, it’ll all get better.”

So I followed that preacher man down to the river and now I’m changed

And now I’m stronger

 

There must’ve been something in the water

Oh, there must’ve been something in the water

 

Well, I heard what he said and I went on my way

Didn’t think about it for a couple of days

Then it hit me like a lightning late one night

I was all out of hope and all out of fight

 

Couldn’t fight back the tears so I fell on my knees

Saying, “God, if you’re there come and rescue me.”

Felt love pouring down from above

Got washed in the water, washed in the blood and now I’m changed

And now I’m stronger

 

There must be something in the water

Oh, there must be something in the water

 

And now I’m singing along to amazing grace

Can’t nobody wipe this smile off my face

Got joy in my heart, angels on my side

Thank God almighty, I saw the light

Gonna look ahead, no turning back

Live every day, give it all that I have

Trust in someone bigger than me

Ever since the day that I believed I am changed

And now I’m stronger

 

There must be something in the water (amazing grace)

Oh, there must be something in the water (how sweet the sound)

Oh, there must be something in the water (that saved a wretch)

Oh, there must be something in the water (like me)

Oh, yeah

 I am changed (I once was lost)

Stronger (but now I’m found)

      A song about Baptism – WOW on National TV.   I wish I had the Courage that Carrie Underwood  had at that moment to let people know about her faith. 

So this week as you are in the public sector – can we be as Bold as Carrie Underwood was – and let people know about Our Faith
