In the Water Lyrics
[Verse 1]
In the water, they sort it out
They were waist to neck in December somehow
In the water, they twist and shout
They were born again, so they can start living now
In the water, they saw the face
Of the man who was haunted, chained and disgraced
In the water, they asked them both
“How did you get the gold without digging any holes?”
[Chorus]
Never had it any other way
Drowning in the praise
Never had a chance to break apart, hard for them to see
What's really in this place now
[Verse 2]
"Hide your daughters," the old men say
We were young once before, you know how we get our way
Feel the horror with no delay
We all see what once was beautiful is turning old and grey
[Chorus]
Never had it any other way
Drowning in the praise
Never had a chance to break apart, hard for them to see
What's really in this place
[Bridge]
I can’t fake it enough
Can’t say it enough
Can’t do it enough
I can’t make it enough
Can’t fake it enough
I don’t want it enough
So everyone’ll wait
[Chorus]
Never had it any other way
Drowning in the praise
Never had a chance to break apart, hard for them to see
What's really in this place
[Outro]
I can't say it enough
Can't sing it enough
So I’ll find another way
And we sing this morning that wonderful and grand ol’ message
I don’t know about you, I never get tired of it... number--

In the water, they sort it out
They were waist to neck in December somehow

In the water, they saw the face
Of the man who was haunted, chained and disgraced
In the water, they asked them both
“How did you get the gold without digging any holes?”
Never had it any other way
Drowning in the praise
Never had a chance to break apart, hard for them to see

Can’t do it enough
I can’t make it enough
Can’t fake it enough
I don’t want it enough

I think the “hide your daughters” line is extremely haunting knowing he was allegedly grooming barley teenagers.
jessie begins by describing fish in the water. by the line “how did u get the gold..” he is describing what it is like to be so talented and lucky without having had to pay the way our forefathers have had to.moving into the 2nd verse he begins to praise God for the blessings he’s been given.
