Cooling Water
Lee Williams And The Spiritual QC's Lyrics

My soul was sinking, in a world of sin
I was lost in a sea of sin and despair

but grace and mercy, it took me in
But God's grace and mercy helped me

took my feet out, of the miry clay
He lifted me out of the mud and mire of sin

and placed them on, a rock to stay
And put me on solid ground

Oh what a relief it was
It was such a relief

When God rescued me, He lose the chains
When God saved me, He broke the chains that bound me

that had me bound, then he set me free
And set me free from the bondage of sin

And it felt like, cooling water
It felt like refreshing, cooling water

cooling water, cooling water
Refreshing, cooling water

Sleepless nights, in so much pain
I suffered through many sleepless nights in pain

Couldn't see no sunshine, nothing but rain
I couldn't see any light, only darkness

But God said weeping may, endure for a night
But God promises that our tears will only last for a little while

But in the morning, it would be all right
And in the morning, things will be better

when he saved my soul, cooling water
When God saved my soul, it was like refreshing water

when he made me whole, cooling water
When God healed me, it was like refreshing water

and I'm reminded of another water
And it reminds me of another water

When they took me down in the water
When they baptized me in the water

to be baptized
To be washed clean and reborn

Let me tell you what happened to me
Let me share my testimony

They baptized me in the name of the father,
I was baptized in the name of the Father

baptized me in the name of the son
I was baptized in the name of the Son

baptized me in the name of the holy ghost
I was baptized in the name of the Holy Ghost

and they all they all made one.
And they all represent the same God

When I came up out that water,
When I emerged from the water,

I had a new walk,
I had a new way of life,

I just didn't walk, quite the same
I no longer walked the same path

I had love in my heart,
I had a newfound love in my heart

when I came up out that water,
when I emerged from the water,

I had joy all in my heart,
I had a newfound joy in my heart

Changed my mind, couldn't think that same way
It changed my way of thinking

Changed my heart, had a different word to say
It changed my heart, giving me a different purpose in life

Changed me, I didn't want didn't want just to live
It changed me, I didn't just want to exist

I wanted something that I could give
I wanted to make a difference with my life

Praise God, For the water
Let's give thanks to God for the water

Anybody been dipped? I wanna know have you been dipped down in the water.
Has anyone else been baptized? I want to hear your stories.

In the water, The Holy Ghost was in that water
In the water, there was the presence of the Holy Ghost

Deliverance was in that water
Baptism was a moment of deliverance

Forgiveness was in that water
Baptism was a moment of forgiveness
