He said, “I’ve been where you’ve been before. Down every hallway’s a slamming door.” No way out, no one to come and save me Wasting a life that the Good Lord gave me
Then somebody said what I’m saying to you Opened my eyes and told me the truth.” They said, “Just a little faith, 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 something in the water Oh, there must’ve been something in the water
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 lightning 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 Saying, “God, if you’re there come and rescue me.” Felt love pouring 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 something in the water Oh, there must be something in the water
And now I’m singing along to amazing grace Can’t nobody wipe this smile off my face Got joy in my heart, angels on my side Thank God almighty, I saw the light Gonna look ahead, no turning back Live everyday, give it all that I have Trust in someone bigger than me Ever since the day that I believed I am changed And now I’m stronger
There must be something in the water Oh, there must be something in the water Oh, there must be something in the water Oh, there must be something in the water Oh, yeah
I am changed Stronger
I’m free.
Matthew 3:11
“I baptize you with water for repentance,
but He who is coming after me is mightier than I,
whose sandals I am not worthy to carry.
He will baptize you with the Holy Spirit and fire.”
Acts 22:16
“And now why do you wait?
Rise and be baptized and wash away your sins,
calling on His Name.”
Matthew 28:19
“Go therefore
and make disciples of all nations,
baptizing them in the Name of the Father and of the Son and of the Holy Spirit,”
“For as in Adam all die, so in Christ all will be made alive.”
I just can’t believe Where my life was at All that I know is that my heart was broken And I don’t ever wanna go back
Ain’t no explanation How I saw the light He found me and set me free And it brought me back to life
Blame it on the transformation Changed down to the core His love is real And I can’t sit still ‘Cause my name’s not shamed no more
Great God Almighty, gonna change this Great God Almighty, He gonna change me
You gotta shake, shake, shake Like you’re changed, changed, changed Brand new looks so good on you So shake like you’ve been changed
Come on and shake, shake, shake like you changed Shake, shake, shake like you changed
Maybe He came to you When everything seemed fine Or maybe your world was upside down and hit you right between the eyes No matter when it happened At 7 or 95 Move your feet ’cause you are free And you’ve never been more alive
Great God Almighty, gonna change me Great God Almighty, He gonna change me Great God Almighty, gonna change me Great God Almighty, He gonna change me
Matthew 18:3
And He said:
“Truly I tell you,
unless you change and become like little children,
you will never enter the Kingdom of Heaven.”

2 Corinthians 5:17
“Therefore, if anyone is in Christ,
the new creation has come:
The old has gone,
the new is here!”
Romans 12:2
“Do not conform to the pattern of this world,
but be transformed by the renewing of your mind.
Then you will be able to test and approve what God’s will is—
I’ve been the one to shake with fear And wonder if You’re even here I’ve been the one to doubt Your love I’ve told myself You’re not enough
I’ve been the one to try and say I’ll overcome by my own strength I’ve been the one to fall apart And start to question who You are
You’re the One who conquers giants You’re the One who calls out kings You shut the mouths of lions You tell the dead to breathe You’re the One who walks through fire You take the orphan’s hand You are the One Messiah You are I AM You are I AM
I’ve been the one held down in chains Beneath the weight of all my shame I’ve been the one to believe That where I am, You cannot reach
The veil is torn And now I live With the Spirit inside The same One The very same One Who brought the Son back to life! Hallelujah, He lives in me!
You are the One Messiah You are I AM Hallelujah, He lives in me! You are I AM Hallelujah, He lives in me!

So Powerful!!
John 19:35
“The man who saw it
has given testimony,
and his testimony is true.
He knows that he tells the truth,
and he testifies so that you also may believe.”
The gates and doors were barred And all the windows fastened down I spent the night in sleeplessness And rose at every sound Half in hopeless sorrow And half in fear the day Would find the soldiers breakin’ through To drag us all away
And just before the sunrise I heard something at the wall The gate began to rattle And a voice began to call I hurried to the window Looked down into the street Expecting swords and torches And the sound of soldiers’ feet
But there was no one there but Mary So I went down to let her in John stood there beside me As she told me where she’d been She said they might have moved Him in the night And none of us knows where The stone’s been rolled away And now His body isn’t there
We both ran toward the garden Then John ran on ahead We found the stone and empty tomb Just the way that Mary said But the winding sheet they wrapped Him in Was just an empty shell And how or where they’d taken Him Was more than I could tell
Oh, something strange had happened there Just what I did not know John believed a miracle But I just turned to go Circumstance and speculation Couldn’t lift me very high ‘Cause I’d seen them crucify Him Then I saw Him die
Back inside the house again The guilt and anguish came Everything I’d promised Him Just added to my shame When at last it came to choices I denied I knew His Name And even if He was Alive It wouldn’t be the same
But, suddenly the air was filled With a strange and sweet perfume Light that came from everywhere Drove the shadows from the room And Jesus stood before me With His arms held open wide And I fell down on my knees And I just clung to Him and cried
Then He raised me to my feet And as I looked into His eyes The love was shining out from Him Like sunlight from the skies Guilt in my confusion Disappeared in sweet release And every fear I’d ever had Just melted into peace
He’s Alive! Yes, He’s Alive! Yes, He’s Alive, and I’m forgiven Heaven’s gates are open wide He’s Alive! Yes, He’s Alive! Oh ,He’s Alive, and I’m forgiven Heaven’s gates are open wide He’s Alive! Yes, He’s Alive! Hallelujah!! He’s Alive! He’s Alive, and I’m forgiven Heaven’s gates are open wide He’s Alive! He’s Alive! He’s Alive! I believe it!! He’s Alive! Sweet Jesus!!
John 20:19
“On the evening of that first day of the week,
when the disciples were together,
with the doors locked for fear of the Jewish leaders,
Jesus came
and stood among them and said,
‘Peace be with you!’
After He said this,
He showed them His hands and side.
The disciples were overjoyed when they saw the Lord.”
Acts 1:8-11
“But you will receive power
when the Holy Spirit comes on you;
and you will be My witnesses in Jerusalem,
and in all Judea and Samaria,
and to the ends of the earth.
After He said this,
He was taken up before their very eyes,
and a cloud hid Him from their sight.
They were looking intently up into the sky as He was going,
when suddenly two men dressed in white stood beside them.
‘Men of Galilee,’
they said,
‘why do you stand here looking into the sky?
This same Jesus,
who has been taken from you into Heaven,
will come back
in the same way you have seen Him go into Heaven.’”
