Cooling Water
The Williams Brothers Lyrics
Jump to: Overall Meaning ↴ Line by Line Meaning ↴
MY SOUL WAS SINKING, IN A WORLD OF SIN
BUT GRACE AND MERCY, IT TOOK ME IN
TOOK MY FEET OUT, OF THE MARRY CLAY
AND PLACED THEM ON, ON A ROCK TO STAY
OH WHAT A RELIEF IT WAS
WHEN GOD RESCUED ME, HE LOOSED THE CHAINS THAT HAD ME BOUND
AND HE SET ME FREE
VERSE: 2
SLEEPLESS NIGHT, AND SO MUCH PAIN
COULD’NT SEE NO SUNSHINE, NOTHING BUT RAIN
BUT GOD SAID
WEEPING MAY, ENDURE FOR A NIGHT
BUT IN THE MORNING, IT WILL BE ALRIGHT
OH WHAT A RELIEF IT WAS
WHEN GOD RESCUED ME, HE LOOSED THE CHAINS THAT HAD ME BOUND
AND HE SET ME FREE

The Williams Brothers' song "Cooling Water" is a gospel track that speaks about the joy and relief that comes from finding salvation and redemption. The first verse talks about how the singer's soul was sinking in a world of sin, but with grace and mercy, he found his way out. He went on to say that God took him out of the marred clay and placed him on a rock to stay. This can be interpreted as being taken out of a place of destruction and immorality and placed on a solid and righteous path. The relief that he felt when God rescued him and loosed the chains that had him bound is palpable in the song. It is an expression of gratitude for the freedom that God provided.
The second verse paints a picture of a person who is going through a tough time in life. They are experiencing sleepless nights and constant pain, with seemingly no end in sight. However, the song reminds us of the scripture that says "weeping may endure for a night, but joy cometh in the morning." This means that no matter what we are going through, as long as we hold on to God, things will eventually get better. The same relief that was felt in the first verse is evident in the second verse. The singer testifies to the power of God's grace to make everything alright.
The chorus of the song repeats the words "cooling water" several times. This phrase can be interpreted in a literal sense as the refreshing sensation that comes from cold water. However, in the context of the song, it represents the spiritual relief that comes from finding salvation in God. The phrase "cooling water from grandma's well" is an allusion to the tradition of people in the past using wells as a source of water. It's a nostalgic reference to a simpler time when things were more straightforward.

I was born a Muslim in Iraq. I was worried and depressed, sitting and looking at the Tigris River in my city.Jesus' face appeared to me in the water and told me. "Son, you're not alone" And now I'm a Christian, and I pray every day at the edge of the river.Thank you Jesus for this grace. I'm not alone right now. Jesus is with me.✝🙏

Bless you. You call on him by any name, call on him and he will answer. God, Buddha, Allah, Father, and Lord just call and he will answer. We must remember to be still, so we may hear his words and guidance.
