Carrie Underwood Shares Christian Faith With ‘Something in the Water’
Carrie Underwood has never shied away from publicly expressing her deep Christian faith, and her new song, 'Something in the Water,' is a perfect example.
The song talks about the importance of baptism and conversion as means to changing your life: “There’s somebody saying what I’m saying to you / Opened my eyes and told me truth / He said just a little faith and it’ll all get better / So I followed that preacher man down to the river and now I’m changed / And now I’m stronger."
The song ends with Underwood singing a portion of 'Amazing Grace.'
"It's really kind of a joyous, uplifting song about changing your life for the better and kind of having that 'a-ha' moment, to waking up and your life being different from that moment forward," she said during a recent appearance on the 'Today' show.
The superstar doesn't worry that speaking out about her faith will alienate her fans.
“Country music is different. You have that Bible Belt-ness about it," she said in 2012. "I’m not the first person to sing about God, Jesus, faith (or) any of that, and I won’t be the last. And it won’t be the last for me, either. If you don’t like it, change the channel.”
'Something in the Water' will appear on Underwood's upcoming 'Greatest Hits: Decade #1,' which is set for release on Dec. 9.
