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 every day, give it all that I have Trust in someone bigger than me Ever since the day I believed...
Amazing grace, how sweet the sound That saved a wretch like me I once was lost but now I'm found Was blind but now I see
