Track 3- Washed By Water (Where Is Your Voice- Album)
A new song!
Here is the third song on my web-only album of songs (if you want a hard or digital copy let me know and I’ll make this happen). Either way, let me know what you think of the songs.
Washed by Water Lyrics
Verse
If anyone says he has no sin
The truth is not in Him
If anyone says he has no sin
The truth is not in Him
But if we confess our sin
He is faithful and just
And will purify our wrong
And we who are far will be brought near
To the holy one of God
Chorus
We are washed by water
Cleansed by blood
Jesus makes us new
We are washed by water
Cleansed by blood
Jesus makes us new
You make all things new
Bridge
We’ve come from death to life
We’ve come pride to joy
We’ve come from despair to hope
Brief Lyrical Commentary: The opening lines in this song are taken from a scripture passage in 1 John 1:8-9. If you grew up worshipping with traditional Lutheran liturgy these words may be scorched into your brain like they are mine. The words in the chorus refer to the work Christ does to cleanse, forgive, and make us new by his death and resurrection. They also point to how God give us His grace through His Word, through the Lord’s Supper, and through Holy Communion
Brief Musical commentary: I originally recorded this song with distorted electric guitar, but after my friend Rob injected the song with wonderful harmonica awesomeness it just felt better as an acoustic track. I know, very enlightening. Thanks to Rob and Andy for their help on this track.
Eric Larson- Acoustic Guitar, Bass
Andy Todd- Drums
Rob Schroeder- Harmonica
