needtobreathe - washed by the water (acoustic live) lyrics

[intro]
people as us a lot of times about our influences, and they’re all over the place as a band
but one of them is, we grew up in a church. our dad was a preacher, when we were kids we’d listen to gospel music
and we were the bad kids. my mom would only let us listen to christian music when we were kids, and me and my brother hated that. and we’d tape stuff off the radio in our bedroom and then we took it to our christian school and sold the tapes. so there’d be amy grant tapes, but sir mixalot would be on there
but there was a bunch of gospel music that we love from that time, stuff like this right here:

i’m free
praise the lord, i’m free
i’m no longer bound
there’s no more chains holding me
my soul is a-resting
oh, what a blessing
praise the lord
hallelujah, i am free

and that led us to write some stuff like this:

[verse 1]
daddy was a preacher
and she was his wife
just tryin’ to make the world a little better
you know, shine a light

[verse 2]
but people started talking
just to hear their own voice
those people tried to accuse my father
said he made the wrong choice

[verse 3]
though it might be painful
you know that time will always tell
those people have long since gone
my father never failed

[chorus]
’cause even when the rain falls
even when the flood starts rising
even when the storm comes
i am washed by the water
even when the rain falls
even when the flood starts rising
even when the storm comes
i am washed by the water

[bridge]
’cause even when earth crumbles under my feet
even when the ones i love turn around and crucify me
i won’t never ever let you down
i won’t fall, i won’t fall, i won’t fall as long as you’re around me
