We The Kingdom - Holy Water (Church Sessions) Lyrics
Lyrics
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
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)
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
Your forgiveness
Is like sweet, sweet honey on my lips (Yes, it is)
Is like the sound of a symphony to my ears
Is like holy water
Your forgiveness (Yes, Lord)
Is like sweet, sweet honey on my lips (Oh, yeah)
Like the sound of a symphony to my ears (Ooh)
Is like holy water on my skin (Like holy water)
Is like holy water on my skin
Is like holy water
Lord, something about Your grace
Oh, makes me wanna change
I need You every hour, every moment
Can't get past You
I know that without Your grace
[?]
Oh, I wanna change, yeah yeah
You've made me clean, Lord
You've forgiven me, Lord, oh
Oh, here I am, here I am, Lord
Oh, You make 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
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
Your forgiveness
Is like sweet, sweet honey on my lips (Yes, it is)
Is like the sound of a symphony to my ears (Oh, yes, it is)
Is like holy water on my skin (Yeah)
Is like holy water

We The Kingdom & Tasha Cobbs Leonard – Holy Water (Church Sessions)
Meaning & Inspiration
We The Kingdom's "Holy Water (Church Sessions)," released as part of their 2020 *Holy Water (Deluxe)* album, is more than just a song; it's an immersive declaration of faith rooted in the transformative power of Christ. This live rendition captures an atmosphere of communal worship, drawing listeners into a profound reflection on spiritual cleansing and renewal. The core message resonates with the biblical concept of sanctification, where believers are set apart and made pure through the sacrifice of Jesus. The title itself directly evokes the imagery of baptism and the blood of Christ, which cleanse us from sin, as powerfully stated in Hebrews 9:14, "how much more, then, will the blood of Christ, who through the eternal Spirit offered himself unblemished to God, cleanse our consciences from acts that lead to death, so that we may serve the living God." The song beautifully articulates a yearning for that same divine presence and purification, mirroring the Psalmist's cry in Psalm 51:7, "Cleanse me with hyssop, and I shall be pure; wash me, and I shall be whiter than snow." The "Church Sessions" context amplifies this, suggesting a shared experience of encountering God's grace within the gathered community, a testament to the truth that "where two or three gather in my name, there am I with them" (Matthew 18:20). The lyrical focus centers on the profound impact of Christ's love and sacrifice, portraying it as a cleansing agent that washes away impurities and brings about a spiritual rebirth. This aligns with the Apostle Paul's assurance in 1 Corinthians 6:11: "And that is what some of you were. But you were washed, you were sanctified, you were justified in the name of the Lord Jesus Christ and by the Spirit of our God." The performance emphasizes a surrender to this cleansing power, inviting listeners to acknowledge their need for God’s grace and to embrace the completeness of His redemption, a freedom that allows us to live boldly in His love and truth, echoing the words of Jesus in John 8:36, "So if the Son sets you free, you will be free indeed." "Holy Water (Church Sessions)" serves as a powerful reminder of the enduring significance of Christ's work and the transformative potential of submitting one's life to His purifying influence.
