This week marks the anniversary of the Nashville flood that came in and did so much damage to the city. As someone who lives in Nashville, Jonny Diaz was inspired to write a song about it. Watch the video below to see what he had to say from his experience, and his thought process for writing the song “What Water Can Do.”
“What Water Can Do”
From Jonny Diaz’s new self-titled album
He cannot forget that Saturday
The day his life forever changed
As the clouds unleashed their darkest wrath
And sandbags could not hold it back
He cannot forget that Saturday
When all his dreams were washed away
When the laughter and the lights went out
And were replaced with fear and doubt
CHORUS:
Isn’t it amazing?
Isn’t it amazing?
It’s true
Isn’t it amazing
What water can do?
He will not forget that Saturday
In just one week after the rain
When he finally learned his neighbors’ names
As they helped him drag the wreck away
He will not forget that Saturday
When called to serve, they all obeyed
Not just his house but his heart was clean
As they reached out to meet his need
CHORUS
He will not forget that Sunday when
The living water washed his sins
Then in front of his church family
He stepped into the Baptist stream
He will not forget that Sunday when
He could not hide his childlike grin
Cause he was raised to life from this point on
Hallelujah, his chains were gone
Oh, Hallelujah, his chains were gone
CHORUS
