Tonight my brother was almost killed while hauling appliances when a truck pulled put in front of him. The over-hanging bars on the truck trailer broke through the windshield directly into the driver seat. Ironically, If he woulda been wearing his seatbelt, he would have been decapitated and I'd never see him again. Thankfully, His reflexes were quick enough and allowed him to jump through the windshield just in time. He had nothing but a few scratches on his back. God was more real than ever tonight for my brother and my family. This song just gives me chills ever since this happened.
I lost my wife couple of years ago we were childhood sweethearts.After that i dropped out of the radar and hit rockbottom so hard.I locked myself up and all i could do was grieve.I thought i'd never be happy again but on 2014 things changed! I woke up in the morning i felt God's love was pouring down on me, light begin to shine on me, God showed mercy over my life and gave back my joy! When this song came out i felt as if she was singing about my life..I once was lost..but now I'm found..was blind but now I see..💙
We sang this song in chapel. I was the only one who knew it. So, they called me up, and asked how I knew it, and who wrote and sang it. I said, well, its actually a story.. Ad so I said to make it quick.. I was having problems finding country songs, I have grown up around them, that have to do with Faith. But, one day one day I came across Carrie Underwood, and my life changed. Her songs made me get closer to God. And so, now tons of people seem to be looking up Carrie. And so, ya. Its a good song on faith. For those who don't believe in God, I'm not trying to offend you. I'm just speaking the truth that happened. God bless you all who agree.
I'm not religious, but this song touches me. I'm passing through some hard stuff right now and the only hope left me is praying and asking for God to help me. I'm listening this right now and felling joy and believing that someone's watching over me till I'm passing through the difficulties.
I pray those difficult times have passed and you can see past them now. God is always there, sometimes we’re not sure because we’re just human but His word says He is.
Dude I'm not sure how old you are but time passes really quickly and I'm not getting him 65 now and I still feel regret over stuff that I didn't do when I was 17, 23, 25 the stuff I let go by me or passed by me without doing anything about it. You have a church or I don't know what your religion is something city guy whatever and you are thinking about going there then go there. Honestly you might think about while ago tomorrow I'll do it tomorrow or I'll do it next week. Your kidneys are going to be kicking yourself. I haven't gone to a church in over 20 years and the last time I went was for a funeral. I did not love the reason that I was there but I loved how I felt while I was in the church and then people were singing. If you get a chance to get involved or even if you do not make one the reason I say this is because it is one of my biggest regrets and I think that if you have the chance to do it go to the church now get involved with the people there. Just do it
Please stay straight........ask for prayer on here---we will pray for you-----lots of us, even if we don't know you we still love you through Christ!!!!!! I will pray for YOU!!!!
I was baptized when I was a baby. I have been doing Bible studies through the college ministry that I am in. Tomorrow, I am getting baptized. I am very excited to have a real neverending friendship with Jesus!!
+MavsGirl4132 - rejoicing with you - same story for me in college, and I just turned 60 years old. Following Him in obedience and trust no matter the cost brings an unbelievable life of adventure in this temporary home:)
My dad was a baptist and my mom is a Lutheran so my fathers parents refused to let me get baptized as a baby. I am now 14 half way through confirmation in the Lutheran church and I'm now going to get baptized in three days I'm so happy
Absolute gibberish! God says wide is the road to hell, narrow is the path. Where there is 2 1 will be taken, sheep & goats. If your a Christian, at least Read your Bible about what God says. ✝️🏃💕🌎💨
my dad was a drug attic. im his daughter and I cry every night. about why he did that. then when I cried the moon light shined down on me. and I heard gods voice saying. ur dad is getting better. Don't worry
All my family and including my kids abandoned me and I really didn't have purpose till God saved my life almost 3 yrs ago he saved me I almost died from a mini stroke and I was blind for a while but now I see and in this process he sent me a good man and we're saving to be together he's my true love and my best friend and we need lots prayers for us come gather please we post pone our wedding because of covid and prices went up its not cheap so please pray for us, Also this is such a beautiful song Carrie Underwood God bless you I love your music it has helped me thru some tough times in life, Thank you and Amen and praise God ❤🙏 ✝️
Why? I'm not gonna get me and jeremy is going to be at work, but if Andrea doesn't have any questions, I love you too many people are almost there is getting fixed and the hospital bc your ready and whatever I can pay for it to the D and ready a good one! I'm not sure how many people
It really surprised me how people can bash her for such a beautiful song, I for one am a Christian and in all honesty I could care less about gay marriage, we don't all hate them for their beliefs, views are views! We can all believe in whatever we want! I am going into the Marine Corps to fight for everyone! Not just my family and loved ones but for the bullies and the drug addicts and the murderers! The point I the song is not to contradict her support of gay marriage it's A MASTERPIECE to show that through all hell and pain God is there! He's there for all of us! No matter your past, your present or your future he will overcome! Joshua 1:9 "for I will be strong and courageous not terrified or discouraged, for The Lord God is with me wherever I shall go."
+Quinn Carter that is right!! it's still the same and I'm actually that religion. It's neat though so just be open minded to it. You don't need to go much in detail talking about personal stuff though. Just some people are more open and honest than others.
Heard this song when i was driving and started crying. I can relate to this sonf as i accepted christ as my savior a few months ago and was baptized a couple of weeks ago. And i thank god and jesus for all they have done so far and knowing that jesus has my back it feels great!!
Matt Melnyk I'm so glad for you, Matt!! You need to get into a local church that teaches God's word, & do it FAST if you haven't yet done so. Let me know if you need help & I can direct you to an online source.
mrtlbush thank you. Everyday i thank god & jesus for what they continue and have done in my life so far. I love jesus & god. Someone told me i have a hunger for god.
Matt Melnyk HALLELUJAH!!!! Whatever you do, my brother: DON'T LOSE IT!!!! Stay in your Word, pray every chance you get, maintain a regular fast life, and keep yourself in fellowship with the local body of believers, especially with those that will mentor you.
2020 was the worst year of my life. My husband died and to be honest, I'm still in the gutter. I've got to be strong for my two daughters but I pray Almighty God really makes it easy for me and helps me. I have always been in love with Country music, however for whatever reason I'd never heard of this song. The first time I heard this song was on a country hits radio and I started crying because what Carrie Underwood is saying & singing, it really makes sense. I believe that when you have faith in the Almighty God no matter what religion you are, you will always make it by the grace of God. It's hard not having my husband by my side and it has not even been a year that he died but man I am holding onto God tightly. God bless you all. Stay safe and have a blessed 2021.
Something in the Water Carrie Underwood 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 There must've been something in the water Oh, there must've been something in the water 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 everyday, 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 There must be something in the water Oh, there must be something in the water Oh, there must be something in the water Oh, there must be something in the water Oh, yeah I am changed Stronger
Thank´s Andrea, for the lyric´s of this song, just I´m understanding, why the most comment´s revolves arround god and Jesus...hope it´s right, because I´m a German. My English is so lala, that´s why I can´t follow Carrie when she so fast sing. lovely greet´s from Germany and be safe please! 😘
No one will read this, but that is fine because that's not the point. Took my daughter to see Ms. Underwood and was not unhappy to do so. I knew all the hits and enjoyed them very much. Near the end of the show, she performed this song. I somehow had never heard this one and hearing a song for the first time in concert just gives you a generalized opinion of its quality for the most part. This song with zero fanfare and lyrics I had never heard before brought me to tears. God is wonderful and he proves it often. It saddens me that so many turn their backs on him when he offers to help. God offers help, hope, and love to all and all he asks of us is to believe. I have a quote from another band I like; Savatage, and their song "Believe." because it fits here, I feel it. "I am the way I am the light I am the dark inside the night I hear your hopes I feel your dreams And in the dark I hear your screams Don't turn away Just take my hand And when you make your final stand I'll be right there I'll never leave And all I ask of you is Believe" Songs have power and Carrie has been given a chance to help us. Thank you
Our Father, who art in heaven, hallowed be thy name; thy kingdom come; thy will be done on earth as it is in heaven. Give us this day our daily bread; and forgive us our trespasses as we forgive those who trespass against us; and lead us not into temptation, but deliver us from evil. Amen.
I lost my faith when I was 15.. I felt god didn’t care.. that he wasn’t looking out for me because why would he allow me to go through so much? I spiraled into drugs, alcohol and selfishness. I finally met an amazing man who cared for and loved both me and my son.. we’ve been 3 years in four months.. we had a miscarriage two years ago and I really felt again like god wasn’t there.. then I really started to look into my faith.. I realized that god tests us and sometimes they are painful but nothing we can’t handle with his love. This song is beautiful.. ps I’m currently pregnant!! Found my faith 1 year ago today! This song reminds me of the joy I have found in his love ♥️✨
A beautiful song, and with quite a bit of meaning behind it for those willing to listen to the message. If not, it's still a peppy song I understand many criticize her for putting to much "God" in her songs, but frankly, it's HER career, and if she chooses to use her immense talent to glorify God, while still achieving Commercial success, we should all congratulate her. GREAT SONG CARRIE !!
Tonya Bohanon Yes, that is for sure.... Not only is it a meaningful song about God's grace, but it's also a beautiful song even for non-believers.. I can't imagine anyone objecting to it...
+Shayla Slyman I agree..... From the look of sheer joy on her face as she sings it, you can tell she doesn't care what the critics say, and she doesn't care if it harms her career, she's SINGING THIS SONG, whether people like it or not !! I applaud her for using her voice talent for a greater good....
I like how a lot of religious groups were bashing Carrie for this song. And that mess, kind of just faded away. Especially, when it became smash hit. But that is Carrie every single she puts out turns into blockbuster hit.
Praise God! I'm so very happy for you! I became a believer in, and a follower of, Christ after I got out of the Navy years ago. I was an atheist and hated Christians, the Bible, God, and anything religious. I had adopted Epicureanism as my "belief" (life is for pleasure, and then ya die), and after a big party one night, I laid awake, troubled that I didn't feel the satisfaction I expected down deep inside. I realized there was an emptiness inside, and I tried imagining myself as an old man ready to die, and explaining to others that I was happy, satisfied with my life, and ready to die because I _________________. I tried inserting various things in the blank, but all of them just rang empty. The next morning, there was a knock at the door. I was living many miles out in the mountains where I could party loud and do anything I wanted without interference from police, neighbors, Christians, etc. However, the knock at the door was a Christian... my girlfriend's sister, Betsy. I yelled for Sandy, my gf, to get up to see her sister (cause I DEFINITELY did not want to talk to her). They sat in the dining room as Betsy began reading to her sister from the Bible, and explaining the Gospel. An odd thing had happened during the party the night before: Someone broke BOTH my stereo and my TV. In retrospect, I now realize that it was God's plan, so that I would hear every word Betsy said to Sandy. When I heard Betsy lead Sandy in a prayer accepting Yeshua Jesus as her Savior, I began to get quite angry, since I realized that this would cause Sandy to cease physical relations with me. But then, I really started fuming when Betsy indicated tat she was coming in to talk to me next. She walked over to me in the living room and said "Billy, would you like to know about Jesus?" I was ready for her and exploded into a tirade of obscene cussing so she would run out of the room. ...she didn't. She stood there smiling, patiently waiting for me to finish. After I awkwardly ran out of obscenities, I fizzled out with something like "Well, that's just how I feel about religion". She said "Hey, I'm not here to hurt you, I just wanted to tell you that Jesus loves you". (I remember thinking "what the heck? She oughta be worried about me hurting HER, not the other way around".) Later that afternoon, Betsy and Sandy were leaving for a Church service scheduled for that evening, and Betsy handed me a little leaflet (tract) about how to become a Christian, and I agreed to read it just to get her out the door. After they'd gone, I realized it was so quiet without the stereo, the TV, or anyone to talk to. It seemed like the tract she'd left me loomed large everytime I looked toward that part of the room. Finally, I grabbed it out of frustration, deciding to "get it out of the way" so I could tell her I read it. Now, I had read Gospel tracts before (I used to read them for laughs, and then tear them up so no one would believe "that stuff"), but I'd always thought the message was "Stop sinning. Be good, and MAYBE when you die, God just MIGHT see your "good" outweighed your "bad", and let you into Heaven". But this time, I REALLY UNDERSTOOD it! It was like a bright light had just been turned on in a dark room and I could see things I never could before! It was clearly explaining to me that I had broken God's law and could not pay the penalty to clear it up. But God became a man in the person of Yeshua Jesus, lived a sinless life, and died FOR me, in MY place, and all I had to do was be sorry that I had broken His law, and accept His payment He made for me! I WAS SO KNOCKED OUT! All of a sudden, I heard myself saying as I looked up toward Heaven, "You are KIDDING me!! THIS is what you've been trying to tell me all these years???" As I continued reading, it dawned on me that I believed in God... I KNEW GOD! I BELIEVED THE GOSPEL! It really FREAKED ME OUT! I walked around the house, just stunned! Then I walked outside and, in the mountains there's no light pollution, so I could see what looked like millions of stars, but it seemed like I was seeing them for the very first time. I can't explain the joy that was overflowing from me. What was funny was when the girls got home from Church, they came in the back door and were standing in the kitchen talking. I realized I had to tell them, so I walked in the kitchen just as I realized I had NO IDEA what to say. I just stared at them with this look. They stopped talking and looked at me and said "What's wrong?" All I could say was "I did it". They suddenly looked worried like I'd done something wrong. "You did WHAT?" they asked. "You know... that thing... in the piece of paper you gave me... I prayed, to God." They did NOT believe me! They thought I was making fun of them. I had to convince them that I was sincerely telling the truth! That was years ago, but I am still just in awe of God's mercy toward someone like me who mocked & ridiculed Him, His Word, and His people. God Bless You!
I was reborn as a saved Christian on January 16,2016 along side my best friend. Life has so much clarity, joy and peace now. With Christ on our side who can stand against us.
Jennifer Ornduff I got saved on Easter of 2013! My best friend was right there!!! I will never forget that special day! I just recently got baptized and I am new and clean!!! Praise GOD!
My Godmother had 2 weeks left to live ..I went to church lit up a candle touched a picture of Jesus heart and I left I put holy water made a cross and now the doctors are amazed she is eating 5 times a day and talking and now they think she may have a year to live or who knows maybe cure if God willing 💜🙏
Quite honestly, I don't understand why people are calling this video inappropriate... I'm a Christian and I find nothing risque about this video. In fact, I find every aspect of it beautiful. I understand slightly where you are coming from, but God gives everyone a spiritual gift. Carrie's is her voice and ability to reach the population with her music and share a message with people. The dance company's is their passion for dance, whether they share a belief or not. Either way, dance is an absolutely beautiful form and while it can be choreographed to be "risque", there is nothing risque in their movement in this video. Dance is beautiful and the body is beautiful and music is also beautiful. I think our society is so caught up in everything being so sexualized that it's difficult for us to watch something intended to pure because we kind of expect it to be inappropriate. I watched this video without reading any of the comments prior and was in utter amazement at the beauty, only to scroll down and see somewhat of an upset that I can't quite understand. This video's intention is to bring the same physical beauty to our eyes that the song brings to our ears and I think it's flawless. Sure, maybe if I rewatch it I'll notice that the dresses are sheer and that there's some interesting shot choices, but I believe that this video is celebrating God and his love (and I respect those who disagree) and I also believe that God thinks the body is a beautiful being. That is what dance celebrates and God intends us too, as well. Look back at Adam and Eve. They only felt shame after the fall and realizing they were naked and suddenly it was something to be embarrassed of. Obviously, I don't agree with throwing around nudity and sex in our society, but I think there's a line between purity of the body and movement, like how I believe this video portrays it, and then there's the raunchy type that we so often see in movies and other forms of entertainment and advertisement. We just need to be able to discern between which is which. I think this is an absolutely amazing piece of art.
❤raised in a cult. Religious trauma will not break me, but made me stronger so I can share this with you today. YOU are not too broken. GOD does not seek perfection, He seeks your heart. It IS much simpler than ppl say. It’s like talking to you’re best friend. I dream of the day He holds us in His arms and welcomes you and me home. 🥲❤
Yahweh bless everyone reading this comment! May the Holy Spirit enter your hearts and fill you with love and purpose. For anyone needing a sign this is it: Your Heavenly Father loves you and you are worthy.
Beautiful song ao voices I was Baptized in the water 2009 I lost my marriage and I n through the breast cancer in the same time 2008 but by the Grace of I’m healed Praise God for Goodness and the mercy of God !!!
Few artists can make a Christian/gospel song mainstream. Carrie's done it with Jesus Take the Wheel and now Something in the Water. Props to her, that's not easy to do.
Been 47 days clean and i will say it feels so amazing to be clean and sober for the first time in 3 years i can finally say that i am Stronger then i ever was before Thank you to God and my family for not giving up on me I love you guys
Here is my email its babygurl351986@gmail.com and seeing your reply literally brought tears to my eyes thank you so much for this song and thank you again for your reply it means a lot
Jesus Christ's Bride is so important to me. Although we are going through a tough time currently, Jesus will restore His One Holy Apostolic Church. There's something in the water.
Praise God for artists like Carrie Underwood! She is an unabashedly Christian artist in an age when secularism seems to rule. Carrie lets her faith be known to one and all, with no apologies. As for those who criticize her music as "too religious" I would say "Dip your feet in the water and find out how good it feels!" There IS something in the water!
I’m atheist. This is a great song about her faith. Religion is personal. Believe what you do. It’s ok to he happy for others who are happy in their convictions.
@@onceuponatimeinhollywood148 Judaism isn't invented by man, the God of Israel was with the Jewish people.Christianity is a religion, i understand the point you're trying to make and it is about a relationship with Jesus Christ but being accurate matters.
Oh Jesus is awesome. He meets ya where you are. You should listen to grace to grace by hillsong united. Thats anamazing song...even if your not religious...its a very moving song.
I'm an atheist, but this song is still super special, and extremely nostalgic to me. Was the song we danced to in lyrical class the year my dance studio closed.
God is for everyone. He could be just a friend ya know He's always there. I don't mean you have to believe in him totally but it might give you a sense of peace? I know what you mean by "not for everyone" like it isnt accepted by everyone. But he's there for you he's FOR EVERYONE I can't word this right without sounding preachy XD It's just a play on words now lol.
God will get everyone through something all everyone has to do is look for the signs he has gotten me through alot I'm grateful to be the believer i am today😊 😊
He said, "I've been where you've been before. Down every hallway's a slamming door."

God is so good, I accepted Him as my Lord and saviour at the end of December 2019 and I am getting baptized once restrictions allow. I am so thankful for the work He has done in my life ✝️ Update: I’m getting baptized in June at a lake with friends
@@michaelsmith_32329_ hello, thank you for asking. I am doing better today. I weighed in at 93 pounds. I haven’t weighed 93 pounds in about 5years. That’s a win for me
I think out of every Carrie Underwood song she has had, this song truly has blessings in life. It’s by far her most beautiful song she ever has sang and it shows why she’s one of the most talented, stunning, blessed, and inspirational singers in not only country music but in music all together. Songs like this shows why she not only won American Idol but as one of the most beautiful talented singers in the entire world. When she won Season 4 of Idol, I knew she would be such a huge success.
I think some have "missed the mark" with their interpretations of the sensual dancing in the video. Anyone who has any kind of experience in the dance world knows that when two or more people dance together, they have to be synchronized. In a way, they become one body. The closeness, which some people consider sexual, of the dancers in the video represents that one body. And as Christians/ Catholics/ all other denominations, I'm sure we all know that we are one body In Christ. The church belongs to him and we belong to the church. That "orgy" of dancers represents the functionality, intimacy, and strength of the church, faith, and Christ. They were not an orgy, but one body. You're welcome. Now please enjoy the video.
Art can be interpreted many ways, usually its shaped by our own feelings,desires,and perception on life.. People who say this as a "sexual" dance, are merely demonstrating their intense need for sex and therefore see it easily in many things others do not.
My wife and I had different musical tastes (I'm a rock n' roller, she was more R & B), but we both loved this song. She passed away in January 2020. In her hospital room I had this song playing. Beautiful, touching song.
Dear, Heavenly Father How do u take away pain from someone u love so much, his cuz how was like a sister passed away on Wednesday by the hands of eval I don’t know what I can do except love him n be here for him father...Please God help him n his hole family while they all go throw this time of need
This a representation of getting baptized in the Holy Spirit, which is Gods spirit, love from above is the holy spirit also the blood of jesus id a tangible strength and protection from God.
That small bump that you can see of her pregnant belly really is fitting!! No better thing to honestly show the true miracle of life that He creates and gives us!!
I know this is a song about baptism. But let's just take a moment to talk about how visually appealing this video is! Soft lighting makes Carrie look like an angel. The light fabrics and muted colors of the clothing create a tone of simplicity that doesn't take away from the dancers or Carries voice. The Dancers! Choreo is absolute perfection with tons of feeling. The moves perfectly match the music (example at 0.26 when legs kick up on the claps) The water represents being cleansed, but also a joyful and playful side of the serious dancers. Carries motherhood glow is noticeable, and I always get goosebumps once the choir starts to sing. I can praise this video all day without complaints. Without a doubt my favourite music video that has ever been produced and a huge high five to the producers, choreographers, designers and anyone else involved in this video. Carrie Underwood never fails to impress me :)
It's harder for country singes like Carrie to get a ton of views quickly. Since they aren't singing about sex and drugs, or twerking, or dresses half naked, the views don't come pouring in. But don't worry Carrie this will get plenty of views just like all your other music videos and 18 #1s!!
felicitybella1 the songs now a days talk about all that tbh ... the world is changing sweetie we already passed the 80's... if you don't agree then do your research k? God bless
Carrie is more of a classy woman! She has an elegant voice, and that's why I love her! These other artists have no talent, but to brainwash youngsters into objectifying women, drinking, trucking, and doing drugs! As Maddie and Tae say, country songs were more respectful back then!
not sure that the audience only interest is in twerking and revealing clothing but I understand your point. Carrie has the star power and talent to make these types of songs and do it successful. Many artist would be happy to try something different and branch out but they cannot due to their fan base would not accept and the record labels would not even let them. But good comment from you.
Dib Xwb - She is a great role model for satan !!!!!! She "trashed" President Trump !!!!!! She actually thought she could escape... KARMA... KARMA... caught up with the witch... and "trashed" her face...
Dang, I use to love this song at an early age in elementary school. I had no idea it was about Carrie Underwood trusting God to take care of her during a time when her dad was a drug addict. 😂😂😂
Catholicism confuses me. You believe Jesus died on the cross but you don't believe he is your salvation...makes no sense. Also why don't y'all study the bible ?? The bible gives the answers you need not the speaker of the church.
I was baptized when I was twelve, and it was during my last year at the church I'd been going to for my entire life. Before the baptizing event happened, I was really unsure about whether or not I wanted to get baptized. Some of my friends were doing it, but I had a lot of anxiety about doing it in front of my entire church and I was scared I would embarrass myself. I had just about convinced myself that I wouldn't do it when all of a sudden I felt happy. I can't explain it, but I was just all of a sudden overwhelmed with happiness, and I couldn't help but smile. I thought about it, and at that moment I could feel god pushing me, motivating me to get baptized at that event. I didn't know it then, but I now know that it was him, God really was with me that day. When I got baptized it was amazing. I got to do it with church friends I've known for my whole life, and the people of my small church gathered around me, congratulating me, praying for me. A few months later I found out that the pastor of our church was leaving, and because no one else could take over, our church community was going to end. I was devastated. I had been with those people for my entire life after all. I was crying every night and I let the devil into my mind. My anxiety got even worse, because that same year I was leaving elementary school and starting middle school. I was terrified about school, heart broken about losing my church, and stressed about having to get used to an entirely new church community. I started to become depressed. As time went on though, I started to get used to middle school, and I made new friends. I was still to scared to go to the classes at my church though. But the first time I did, I found out that one of the girls I met in my 6th grade class, went to my new church! We quickly became great friends. We both had major anxiety, and we were both very introverted, so we helped eachother overcome our fears and worries. I still know her today, and we have grown so much together through God. I believe God brought us together, and that she was the ray of Hope that he gave me to get through my troubles. I still get anxious, or depressed thoughts today, (quite often actually) but then I remember all of the great things he's done for me. He pushed me to get baptized even though there were so many unknowns and I was so scared to, but I was SO thankful that I did in the end, because I got to be baptized at the beloved King's Family Church before I had to leave it, and all my friends forever. He brought that girl and me together, so we could grow with him and spend our journey with God together. I am so blessed. Now I'm singing along to Amazing Grace, can't nobody wipe this smile off my face. I got joy in my heart, Angels on my side, thank God almighty I saw the light!
"Wasting the life that the Good Lord gave me" .... "now I've changed and now I'm stronger" Before and afterThis is being born again 😘 Jesus completely changes your life ,Love this song (:
