amen Lyrics
[Verse 1: Joel Smallbone, Joel & Luke Smallbone]
Count to three and say a prayer
Down for love and up for air
Underwater, overjoyed
Water for a thirsty soul
Water for a thirsty soul
[Verse 2: Joel Smallbone, Luke Smallbone & Both]
Baptize me into Your love (No, no, oh-oh)
Oh, my spirit’s overcome (No, no, oh-oh)
Body, mind, and skin and bone (Oh, oh)
Love Him, gonna make it known
Love Him, gonna make it known
[Pre-Chorus: Luke & Joel Smallbone]
Yeah, I'm comin' alive with You
I'm comin' alive with You
I was livin' a lie 'til You
I'm comin' alive with You

[Verse 3: Joel Smallbone, Luke Smallbone & Both]
Resurrection day is here (No, no, oh-oh)
Bells are ringin' loud and clear (No, no, oh-oh)
Caterpillar to a butterfly (Oh, oh)
Risen to another life
Risen to another life

[Bridge: Luke Smallbone, Joel Smallbone & Both]
You're in my blood, my veins
In every word I pray
You gave it all for me
I'll give it all for You
Oh, I'm in love with You
Overwhelmed by You
And if the world is listenin'
This is my confession
You are my obsession
