God, I’m on my knees again
God, I’m begging please again
I need You
Oh, I need You
Walking down these desert roads
Water for my thirsty soul
I need You
Oh, I need You
Your forgiveness
Is like sweet, sweet honey
On my lips
Like the sound of a symphony
To my ears
Like Holy water on my skin
Dead man walking, slave to sin
I wanna know about being born again
I need You
Oh, God, I need You
So, take me to the riverside
Take me under, baptize
I need You
Oh, God, I need You
I don’t wanna abuse Your grace
God, I need it every day
It’s the only thing that ever really
Makes me wanna change
Oh, it’s like Holy water on my skin
Yeah, it’s like Holy water on my skin
I just had to lead with the lyrics to this song, Holy Water, by We The Kingdom.
They just encapsulate so much of my heart and soul—the utter need for God, His grace–and how, His grace is the only thing that makes me want to change.
I mean–I have been down the desert road—and I never want to be on that road again—and I think many of you know what I’m talking about. It’s the road that says, if you do this, this and then this–then maybe you’ll be accepted and loved by God. It’s the road of striving to reach God, by doing good things, and somehow always falling short.
God did not wait for us to be perfect—but He came to us. He sent Jesus. Jesus demonstrated the love and grace of God, in that while we were yet sinners, Christ died for us.
G R A C E God’s Riches At Christ’s Expense. G R A C E
One of the leaders of We the Kingdom was an addict—and he shares that this song was written from that place–of calling out to God–and God responding with grace and forgiveness.
My husband and I both come from backgrounds where people have struggled with addiction. There is a reason why one of the 12 steps said that surrendering to God, and letting Him give one the strength and comfort to overcome is so necessary to being free from addictions. Grace is the only thing that makes us want to change.
So—enjoy this Song!! May God’s grace and forgiveness flood our souls. May we be encouraged and transformed!!
