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

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.”

Rise and be baptized and wash away your sins,

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.”

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.’”
“For it is by grace you have been saved, through faith—
and this is not from yourselves,
it is the gift of God—
not by works,
so that no one can boast.”
You’re standing with your list of regrets that you can’t get past yourself You wish so bad that you could make the mark But your dreams are stuck on a shelf And all you wanna do is turn back time And redeem the days you lost But shame keeps calling out your name The chains refuse to fall
But it’s not over, it’s not over This is the moment grace walks in With arms wide open, arms wide open To tell you this is not the end When doubt is strong and your will is weak to even believe again That’s when grace, that’s when grace walks in
You once believed that you could change the world With a fire deep in your soul Your faith was strong and the call was clear You were sure you could make a new road Like so many the flame grew dark And your confidence hit the wall There always seems to be a lot of big questions But the answers seem so small
Just in the nick of time Right there to save our lives Grace is greater Grace is greater
2 Corinthians 12:8-9
“Three times I (Paul)
pleaded with the Lord
to take it (the thorn in my flesh) away from me.
But He said to me,
‘My grace is sufficient for you,
for My power is made perfect in weakness.’
Therefore I will boast all the more gladly
about my weaknesses,
so that Christ’s power may rest on me.”
Hebrews 4:16
“Let us then approach God’s throne of grace with confidence,
so that we may receive mercy
and find grace to help us in our time of need.”
2 Peter 1:2
“Grace and peace be yours in abundance
through the knowledge of God
and of Jesus our Lord.”
John 1:16
“From the fullness of His grace
we have all received one blessing after another.”
Romans 3:23-24
“…for all have sinned
and fall short of the glory of God,
and all are justified freely
by His grace
through the redemption
that came by Christ Jesus.”
2 Corinthians 8:9
“For you know the grace of our Lord Jesus Christ,
that though He was rich,
yet for your sake He became poor,
so that you through His poverty might become rich.”
