• Song: There Must Have Been Something in the Water by Carrie Underwood

    Recently at church they had a baptism service.  It was a great reminder of the changes in the hearts and lives as Christ continues to work through us.  Such a wonderful act of love and commitment.  It is great to see people stepping out in faith and sharing with others.  I pray that God continues to work my heart and life as well as those around us.

    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 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 that I believed I am changed
    And now I’m stronger

    I am changed
    Stronger

    I’m free

  • Stronger by Mandisa

    Hey, heard you were up all night
    Thinking about how your world ain’t right
    And you wonder if things will ever get better
    And you’re asking why is it always raining on you
    When all you want is just a little good news
    Instead of standing there stuck out in the weather

    Oh, don’t hang your head
    It’s gonna end
    God’s right there
    Even if it’s hard to see Him
    I promise you that He still cares

    When the waves are taking you under
    Hold on just a little bit longer
    He knows that this is gonna make you stronger, stronger
    The pain ain’t gonna last forever
    And things can only get better
    Believe me
    This is gonna make you stronger
    Gonna make you stronger, stronger, stronger

    Try and do the best you can
    Hold on and let Him hold your hand
    And go on and fall into the arms of Jesus
    Oh, lift your head it’s gonna end
    God’s right there
    Even when you just can’t feel Him
    I promise you that He still cares
