| Lyrics: |
| Preacher pulled the boy up from the water Alleluias rose from the banks There was a new suit of clothes from his Father And a prayer of thanks The boy walked barefooted all the way home for dinner And when they laughted at his muddy feet... He said I've been through the water and I've come out clean Got new clothes to cover me And you don't wear your old shoes on your brand new feet When you've been through the water Ah been through the water Preacher turned them aournd at the altar Pronounced the boy and his girl "man and wife" In two years they were Mother and Father And they built them a life And his old girlfriend saw a moment of weakness And she said "If you're lonely come see me sometime..." He said I've been through the water and I've come out clean Got new clothes to cover me And you don't wear your old shoes on your brand new feet When you've been through the water Ah been through the water He baits a hook with his grandson of seven And says "Soon, I'll be free from these pains." The boy asked if he's ever been to heaven He says "No... but I think I know the way... 'cause I've been through the water..." I've been through the water and I've come out clean Got new clothes to cover me And you don't wear your old shoes on your brand new feet When you've been through the water Ah been through the water |

I heard this song in the back of my big sister\'s car about 6 or 7 years ago and havent heard it since but I still remembered some of the lyrics and the chorus today. So i looked it up and it is still just as good.

Very inspirational song. I cannot find the music anywhere though and I only hear it on the radio once in a blue moon. All in all, the words are moving and true for me.
