Only Water

These past couple of weeks have been really tough for our family, as we lost someone very dear to us. The Lord is carrying us through, with the prayers of friends & family, and many other ways. Earlier this week, I downloaded the latest album by Brandon Heath, and it has been so very comforting and uplifting to me.

I wanted to share a song that has especially touched my heart. It's called "Only Water". My prayer is that it will bring peace & comfort to someone else out there, as well.

"Only Water" by Brandon Heath

There's a shadow coming
As the sky goes black
It's a stubborn rain
On a Nebraska plain

There's a farmer standing
On a thirsty ground
He holds his breath
This is life or death
It's only water

And it washes over me
Like a single river stone
Changes everything
But has no power on its own
It's only water

There's a winding canyon
Where a mountain stood
Miles of earth and clay
Carried far away

But there's something holy
In these cathedral walls
They took a lot of years
And a lot of tears
It's only water

And it washes over me
Like a single river stone
Changes everything
But has no power on its own
It's only water

There once was a wedding
All the wine was gone
They said He's just a man
That's where it all began
It was only water

And it washes over me
Like a single river stone
Changes everything
But has no power on its own

It washes over me
Like a single river stone
Changes everything
But has no power on its own, on its own
It's only water
