THE WATER IS FINE - David Meece

I came upon a river
I came upon a man
All clad in camel's hair
With a staff held in his hand
He broke the silence quickly
He seemed to know my name
He said "Boy keep your shirt on
but let me help take off these chains"
What kind of man is this
What kind of man is this
He said walk right in (Oh no it don’t get better)
Walk right in
The water is fine
The water is fine
It was a dark day in December
My skin did feel a chill
He said the water is safe and warm
It's just a matter of will
I cried "Who are you mister
and what do I owe this dream"
He said "I’m a voice crying in the wilderness
I’ve come to wipe your slate clean"
What kind of words are these
And what kind of man is this
He said walk right in (Oh no it don’t get better)
Walk right in
The water is fine
The water is fine
You have been high and dry and afraid to get wet
Take a chance on Jesus and wash your debts
Now hush your mouth and swallow your pride
Take a leap in the Jordan and come alive
He said walk right in (Oh no it don’t get better)
Walk right in
The water is fine
The water is fine
You have been high and dry and afraid to get wet
Take a chance on Jesus and wash your debts
Now hush your mouth and swallow your pride
Take a leap in the Jordan and come alive
