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 meWastin' 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)
