He said, "I've been where you've been before
Down every hallway's a slammin' door"
No way out, no one to come and save me
Wastin' a life that the good Lord gave you
Then somebody said what I'm sayin' to you
Open my eyes and told me the truth
He said, "Just a little faith, and 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 somethin' in the water
Oh, there must've been somethin' in the water
And 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 lightnin' 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
Sayin', "God if you're there come and rescue me"
Felt love pourin' 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 somethin' in the water
Oh, there must be somethin' in the water
And now I'm singin' all along to "Amazin' Grace"
Can't nobody wipe this smile off my face
Got joy in my heart, angels on my side
Thinkin' about it, I saw the Lord
Gonna look ahead, no turnin' back
Live every day, give it all that I have
Trusted someone bigger than me
Ever since the day that I believed
I am changed
And now I'm stronger
There must be been somethin' in the water (amazing grace)
Oh, there must be somethin' in the water (how sweet the sound)
Oh, there must be somethin' in the water (that saved a wretch)
Oh, there must be somethin' in the water (like me)
Oh, yeah
I am stronger (I once was lost)
(But now I'm found) stronger
(Was blind, but now I see)
