God, I'm on my knees again
God, I'm begging please again
I need You
Lord, I need You
Walking down these desert roads
Water for my thirsty soul
I need You
Yes, God, I need
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
Dead man walking, slave to sin
I wanna know about being born again
I need You
Oh, Lord, I need You
So, take me to the riverside
Take me under, baptize
I need You, oh
God, I need You
Your forgiveness
Is like sweet, sweet honey on my lips (Oh, yes, it is)
Is like the sound of a symphony to my ears
Is like holy water on my skin
On my skin
I don't wanna abuse Your grace
God, I need it every day
It's the only thing that ever really
Makes me wanna change
I don't wanna abuse Your grace
God, I need it every day
It's the only thing that ever really
Makes me wanna change, yeah

"Holy Water (Church Sessions)" by We The Kingdom is a powerful and soul-stirring song that beautifully captures the essence of God's forgiveness and the transformative power of His grace. This heartfelt ballad is filled with rich biblical imagery and lyrics that resonate with believers from all walks of life.
The song opens with a plea to God, acknowledging our need for His presence and forgiveness. It beautifully expresses the longing of a weary soul, desperately seeking renewal and restoration. The repetition of the line "God, I need You" emphasizes the deep yearning for God's intervention and the recognition that He is the source of true fulfillment and healing.
The lyrics draw inspiration from various biblical references, particularly the concept of forgiveness and redemption. One verse that comes to mind is Psalm 51:10, where the psalmist cries out to God, saying, "Create in me a clean heart, O God, and renew a steadfast spirit within me." This verse echoes the sentiment of the song, as it speaks of the desire to be washed clean and restored by God's grace.
Another verse that relates to the theme of the song is Romans 6:4, which speaks of the symbolism of baptism: "We were therefore buried with him through baptism into death in order that, just as Christ was raised from the dead through the glory of the Father, we too may live a new life." The reference to baptism in the lyrics emphasizes the transformative power of God's forgiveness, as it represents a dying to our old selves and being raised to a new life in Christ.
The chorus of the song beautifully portrays the imagery of God's forgiveness as "sweet, sweet honey on my lips" and "holy water on my skin." These descriptions evoke a sense of sweetness and refreshment that comes from experiencing God's grace and mercy. It reminds us that God's forgiveness is not just a one-time event but an ongoing, life-giving source that continually renews and restores us.
The bridge of the song offers a powerful reflection on the nature of God's grace and our response to it. It acknowledges our tendency to take God's grace for granted and abuse it, but also expresses a genuine desire to change and live in a way that honors Him. This echoes the sentiment of Romans 6:1-2, which reminds us that God's grace is not a license to sin but a call to a transformed life.
Overall, "Holy Water (Church Sessions)" is a beautiful and thought-provoking song that speaks to the heart of every believer. It reminds us of the depth of God's forgiveness and the transformative power of His grace. Through its powerful lyrics and biblical references, it invites us to reflect on our need for God's forgiveness and our response to His unending love. It is a song that encourages us to seek God's presence and continually strive for a life that is shaped by His grace and mercy.
