Washed by the water

Occasionally while listening to the radio I just hear a song that speaks to me. Months ago I heard a song "Washed by the Water" by a group Need to Breathe. I typed it into my Blackberry and meant to look it up that day. Well today I was cleaning out my memo pad and realized I never looked it up. So I did...WOW! You have to know that I am a jazzy-blues type guy so the song has a great sound to me as well. Let me preface it first with this Scripture:

"let us go right into the presence of God with sincere hearts fully trusting him. For our guilty consciences have been sprinkled with Christ’s blood to make us clean, and our bodies have been washed with pure water. Let us hold tightly without wavering to the hope we affirm, for God can be trusted to keep his promise." (Hebrews 10:22,23-NLT)

The song is here and you can read the lyrics while listening to the song:



"Washed by the Water"
Daddy was a preacher
She was his wife
Just tryin to make the world a little better
You know, shine a light
People started talking
Just to hear their own voice
Those people tried to accuse my father
Said he made the wrong choice
Though it might be painful
You know that time will always tell
Those people have long since gone
My father never failed

(Chorus)
Even when the rain falls
Even when the flood starts rising
Even when the storm comes
I am washed by the water

Even when Earth crumbles under my feet
Even when ones I love turn around and crucify me
I won't never ever let you down
I won't fall
I won't fall
I won't fall as long as you are around me

Never forget God is faithful to us even when times we seem to be faithless. We are washed by the pure water. What God has made clean through his love is Clean!

It was working today. My blog must be so popular that the group found out and had You Tube pull it. LOL! I will fix it.
