We the Kingdom Lyrics
Jump to: Overall Meaning ↴ Line by Line Meaning ↴
God, I'm begging please again
I need You
Oh, I need You
Walking down this desert road
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 (hey)
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, oh-oh
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
On my skin
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
I don't wanna abuse Your graceGod, I need it every day
It's the only thing that ever really
Makes me wanna change
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
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

Your forgiveness
Oh, is like sweet, sweet honey on my lips
Like the sound of a symphony to my ears
Oh, it's like holy water on my skin
Yeah, it's like holy water on my skin
Oh, it's like holy water
In "Holy Water," the singer is addressing God in a humble and desperate way, admitting their need for him constantly. The singer is walking down a desert road, metaphorically representing their spiritual journey as they thirst for something that they can only find in God. The reference to "water for my thirsty soul" is a call for spiritual sustenance, and the singer declares their dependence on God with the repeated declaration of "I need you."
The singer then asks for forgiveness, which is likened to sweet honey on their lips, the sound of a symphony to their ears, and holy water on their skin. The use of sensory language highlights how forgiveness is not just an abstract concept, but it has a tangible, transformative effect on the singer. The singer acknowledges their mistakes and proclaims their desire to be born again and baptized, signaling their desire for a fresh start and a new life in Christ.
The final section of the song focuses on the singer's desire to live a life of gratitude and obedience. They do not want to take God's grace for granted and instead want to use it as a motivation for positive change in their life. The repeated declaration of "God, I need it every day" highlights the singer's understanding that their spiritual journey is ongoing and requires a constant reliance on God's grace, forgiveness, and transforming power.

Please pray for me. I fell back into a sin that God delivered me from 4 months ago. Please pray that I break this addiction in Jesus name.
Edit: Just an update for everyone! And I know everyone won't see this, but I would like to thank you all for the prayers.
God has blessed me more than ever in my entire life over the last two weeks it's like the floodgates of heaven have opened up in my life. I have completely submitted to Jesus over the last year. Even though I have stumbled a few times on the way he lifted me up every single time and made me stronger!
In the last two weeks I've been healed of a sickness I've had for over 8 years (since I was 19) and God has blessed me with A God fearing future wife who I plan on proposing to this fall. Thanks again for the prayers and praise Jesus! 🙌✝️🙌
And thanks to Jesus I have also been set free of my addiction! Praise the lord all mighty ✝️

I'll be praying. God's got this!! His WORD says,
1 Corinthians 10:13
13No temptation has seized you except what is common to man. And God is faithful; he will not let you be tempted beyond what you can bear. But when you are tempted, he will also provide a way out so that you can stand up under it.
Read the WORD. Focus on the good aspects of your life, not the challenging ones. God loves YOU so much!! Please update me on how you're doing.
Sincerely,
Marcia

Please share with family and friends. It proves who He is.
Can we prove that Jesus is the Messiah promised in the Old Testament Hebrew Scriptures?

Adapted from the book… “The New Evidence That Demands a Verdict” by Josh McDowell.
Josh McDowell set out to prove that Christianity was false.
Because of what he found in his research, he became a Christian.
The same thing happened to C.S. Lewis, and Lee Stroebel.
The probability of any man fulfilling just 8 of these is 1 in 100,000,000,000,000,000. (17 zeros)
