Holy Water

Holy Water

Holy Water” is a song by the Christian group, We the Kingdom. This song professes our need for God and gives glory for His forgiveness.

According to Wikipedia,

“Holy Water” is a song by We the Kingdom that was released as the second single from their debut extended play, Live at the Wheelhouse (2019), on September 13, 2019. The song was written by Ed Cash, Scott Cash, Franni Cash, Martin Cash, and Andrew Bergthold.

Ed Cash shared the story behind the song, saying:

The whole heart of the song is about the power of forgiveness and what it really means to be forgiven by God. I’ve actually been reading Romans the past few days and just have been in awe of the way that Paul talks so openly about his own sin. He has such a reverence for God and talks about should we then abuse grace since grace is plentiful? By no means. The bridge to the song says, ‘I don’t want to abuse Your grace. God, I need it every day. It’s the only thing that ever really makes me want to change.’ To me it just depicts that hey I want to be changed by the spirit of God.

Verse 1:

God, I’m on my knees again

God, I’m begging please again

I need You Oh, I need You

Walking down these desert roads

Water for my thirsty soul

I need You Oh, I need You

Your forgiveness

Is like sweet, sweet honey on my lips

Like the sound of a symphony to my ears

Like holy water on my skin, hey!
