We The Kingdom + Tasha Cobbs Leonard - Holy Water Lyrics
Lyrics
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
Dead man walking, slave to sin
I wanna know about being born again
I need You
Oh, God, I need You
So, take me to the riverside
Take me under, baptize
I need You
Oh, God, I need You
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
Oh, it’s like Holy water on my skin
Yeah, it’s like Holy water on my skin

We The Kingdom - Holy Water (Live)
Meaning & Inspiration
We The Kingdom's "Holy Water," featuring the powerful vocals of Tasha Cobbs Leonard and released as part of their *Live From The Ryman* album, is a profound declaration of faith that resonates with the life-giving power of God's presence. The song centers on the transformative, cleansing, and sustaining nature of divine grace, drawing deeply from biblical imagery. The core message echoes the prophecy in Ezekiel 47:1-12, where a river flows from the temple, bringing life and healing to everything it touches, from barren land to the Dead Sea. Similarly, "Holy Water" speaks of a spiritual refreshment, an encounter with God that washes away the old and ushers in new life, much like Jesus’ conversation with the Samaritan woman at the well in John 4:14, where He promises, "whoever drinks from the water I give them will never thirst again." This isn't just about a fleeting emotional experience; it's about an unending wellspring of spiritual vitality. The song beautifully articulates the desire for this divine encounter, a longing for God’s purifying presence to saturate every aspect of our being, bringing hope and renewal as described in Titus 3:5: "he saved us, not because of works done by us in righteousness, but according to his own mercy, by the washing of regeneration and renewal of the Holy Spirit." The collaboration with Tasha Cobbs Leonard amplifies this message with an undeniable anointing, her voice embodying the very essence of worship and surrender. The shared commitment on this track underscores a communal yearning for God's touch, acknowledging that His grace is sufficient and abundant, able to saturate and transform even the driest places within us, mirroring the promise in Psalm 23:5 that God prepares a table for us "in the presence of my enemies" and anoints our heads with oil, ensuring our cup overflows. "Holy Water" is an invitation to immerse ourselves in God's abundant love and mercy, a testament to His power to refresh, renew, and sustain us through every season of life.
