[Verse 1] Born in the floodline, salt on my tongue, merely water at first— but I was not done. Deep was the cradle, wild was the blue, formless in motion, still moving through. Hands on the chaos, light in the roar, You spoke a shape where I had none before. I was a wave with a name in it, dust in the rain in it, glass in the strain of it, still You remain in it. [Pre-Chorus] Take me through, take me through, what was liquid You make new. Split the dark, hold the line, I don’t stay where I began. [Chorus] Merely water, then more Merely water, then more Through the sea, through the shore (formed by Your word) Merely water, then more Merely water, then more Jordan breaks at the door (formed by Your word) [Verse 2] Red Sea open, not for my pride, but for the slave-song breaking inside. Jordan trembling, stones in the foam, I step where You step, not drift, not roam. What was unshaped learned to stand, mud to a marrow, sand in my hand. Chaos had teeth, but it could not keep what You had named from crossing the deep. [Scratch Break] Water, water— word and way Sea to sea— form from clay Water, water— pass through me Make this flood a testimony [Pre-Chorus] Take me through, take me through, what was liquid You make new. Split the dark, hold the line, I don’t stay where I began. [Chorus] Merely water, then more Merely water, then more Through the sea, through the shore (formed by Your word) Merely water, then more Merely water, then more Jordan breaks at the door (formed by Your word) [Bridge] If I am water, then let me cross not as a driftwood, not as a loss. Let the wild in me learn Your name, let the formless come in frame. From the deep place to the promised edge, You are the bridge, You are the ledge. [Final Chorus] Merely water, then more Merely water, then more Through the sea, through the shore (formed by Your word) Merely water, then more Merely water, then more Jordan breaks at the door (formed by Your word) Merely water, then more Merely water, then more Chaos bowed to the Lord (formed by Your word)
