Shock the Water Lyrics by Behold the Beloved

No Surrender

2022

[Verse 1]
I'm stepping back, just looking in
Thinking about who I have been
I can't rearrange, or wash out these filthy rags
Embracing shame, deflecting blame
Desecrating what you made clean
All I can say is
That's not who you made me to be

[Pre-Chorus]
When I'm trying not to fall
How can I hold on?
In a world that's drowning in its pain

[Chorus]
Purge me, of all that is unholy
Purify the wellspring that's flowing from my heart
When you shock the water
Release a current of your mercy
Wash me in the bloodstream
Jesus take me in, and shock the water again

[Post-Chorus]
Woah oh oh oh
Woah oh oh oh
Woah oh oh oh

[Verse 2]
A part of me buried beneath
Makes up the man in the mirror
This is my creed
The blood of the Son makes me clean

[Pre-Chorus]
When I'm trying not to fall
How can I hold on?
In a world that's drowning in its pain
In its pain

[Chorus]
Purge me, of all that is unholy
Purify the wellspring that's flowing from my heart
When you shock the water
Release a current of your mercy
Wash me in the bloodstream
Jesus take me in, and shock the water again

You shock the water again

[Bridge]
God of glory, you call me worthy
Wholly I come to your throne
Cleansed by your mercy, hell cannot hold me
Through you I've overcome
God of glory (you call me worthy)
Wholly I come to your throne
Cleansed by your mercy (hell cannot hold me)
Through you I, through you I've overcome

[Chorus]
Purge me, of all that is unholy
Purify the wellspring that's flowing from my heart
When you shock the water
Release a current of your mercy
Wash me in the bloodstream
Jesus take me in, and shock the water again

[Outro]
Woah oh oh oh
Woah oh oh oh
Woah oh oh oh
You shock the water again
Woah oh oh oh
Woah oh oh oh
Woah oh oh oh
Come on
One more time
