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've been something in the water
Oh there must've been something in the water

And now I'm singing all 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
Trusted 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
(Amazing grace)
Oh, there must be something in the water
(How sweet the sound)
Oh, there must be something in the water
(That saved a wretch)
Oh, there must be something in the water (like me)

Oh, once was lost
But now I'm found
Was blind, but now
I see
