This week’s featured song story comes to us from We The Kingdom. We’re excited to share with you the story behind their song “Holy Water.”
“The whole heart of the song is about the power of forgiveness and what it really means to be forgiven by God. I’ve actually been reading Romans the past few days and just have been in awe of the way that Paul talks so openly about his own sin. He has such a reverence for God and talks about should we then abuse grace since grace is plentiful? By no means. The bridge to the song says, ‘I don’t want to abuse Your grace. God, I need it every day. It’s the only thing that ever really makes me want to change.’ To me it just depicts that hey I want to be changed by the spirit of God.” – Ed Cash (We The Kingdom)

“Holy Water” Lyrics
Verse 1
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
Chorus
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
Verse 2
Dead man walking, slave to sin
I wanna know about being born again
I need You
O God, I need You
So take me to the riverside
Take me under, baptize
I need You
O God, I need You, oh!
Chorus
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
Bridge
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
Bridge 2
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
Chorus
Your forgiveness
Is like sweet, sweet honey
Is like sweet, sweet honey on my lips
Like the sound of a symphony to my ears
Like holy water
Chorus
Your forgiveness
Is like sweet, sweet honey on my lips
Like the sound of a symphony to my ears
Oh, it’s like holy water on my skin
Yeah, it’s like holy water on my skin
Oh, it’s like holy water
