Brantley Gilbert - Three Feet Of Water Lyrics






Got a whole lot of years
And a whole lot of pain
And it all got me here
Where the river meets the clay
Rewindin' through my past
Tryin to find some good
But I can't seem to see
What mama always could

And that sun is shinin' down
On all my darker days
They're comin' to me now
As I hear the preacher say
In the name of the Son and the Father
Can I really leave it all
In three feet of water?

I can't unbreak the laws
Straighten out the rules I've bent
Take the broken dreams and hearts
Make 'em all whole again
I been carryin' around
All the messes that I've made
But a few more steps from now
They'll all be washed away

And that sun is shinin' down
On all my darker days
They're comin' to me now
As I hear the preacher say
In the name of the Son and the Father
Who'd've thought I could leave it all
In three feet of water
Washin' over me
Amazing Grace the choir sings
And now I know what mercy's all about

And that sun is shinin' down
And all my darker days
They're nowhere to be found
All that preacher had to say
Was in the name of the Son and the Father
Who'd've thought I could leave it all?
You took my cross so I could leave it all
In three feet of water
Mmm, in three feet of water
Mmm

So, it's that simple, huh?

    He is one of the best country singers of all time. I dont thing there is one song he cant sing. Thank you Brantley.

  26. M.... M....

    Can I really leave it all.. in three feet of water?

  27. B.... H....

    Im not religious, but i love this song. Its cool to hear brantley drop the raspy sound for a second and just really sing. Been a fan since the beginning. Everyone told me he'd never make it big because he's to southern rock. Well, songs lile this, saving amy, amd modern prodigal son etc. are better country songs then most of what you here these days. The man is so talented! #BGNATION

  28. S.... S....

    ❤❤❤

  29. C.... D....

    Beautiful....man can sing.

    Amen BG. You so got it right!! That water and jesus blood will change the hardest of hearts!! All i got to say is thank you son and father and preacher who baptized me in three feet of water and broke my chain of addiction thank you!! Amen!!

  31. J.... E....

    This one got to me a little. You can feel the emotions in his voice. I love it.

  35. A.... H....

    Yes more do need to hear this. You know right before i went to prison for meth i listened to this song and just as i am by Brantley Gilbert 2 weeks later i was sitting in a jail cell looking at 10 years. I asked God please help me i dont wanna live this life anymore. I knocking on deaths door. Wasnt eating or anything just running the streets trying to find my next fix. I went in front of the judge he told me i was looking at 10 years when i got back to my cell i prayed day and night went back to court and got 2 years God works in ways we dont understand im still living for him to this day

  36. P.... M....

    How awesome is this! One of those shocked, take your breath away songs. Thank you BG and the Lord for sending this to him....and to me...

  37. J.... H....

    The lord is my Shepherd I shall not want, he maketh me to lie down in green pastures, he leads me beside still waters, he restores my soul he leads me in the path of righteousness.

  38. J.... J....

    This hits you right in the heart ..such a pretty song could listen to him sing all day !

  39. t.... s....

    Amazing song God bless.

  40. J.... B....

    Crying as I listen. I can't wait until the day I'm sure enough of my faith to be baptized again.

  41. L.... O....

    One Hell of Amen Thank you so much Brantley for all of the beautiful songs I never meet my dad he was on the military but I know that we are going to ride again.

  42. b.... _....

    At 2:15 is my favorite part

  43. R.... B....

    I am ashamed that at one time I thought this guy was just another "wannabe" country punk. Man, was I wrong. This song moved me to tears the first time I heard it. I started listening to other songs of his and was blown away at his song writing abilities. Between Brantley Gilbert and Luke Combs, my faith has been restored in country music. Brantley, Please accept my humble apologies.

  44. M.... L....

    This song really hits home, but you leave it all at God's feet when you give him your life

  45. M.... B....

    No singer or songwriter can hold a candle to BG

    M.... B....

    Mike Beaver I do know one look up Corey Taylor

  46. E.... E....

    BEAUTIFULLY TRUE.

  47. M.... N....

    So beautiful ! My son sent me this Thank You Lord Jesus Christ

  48. J.... C....

    Amazing song, he's definitely an amazing artist and so true and real and sticks to his roots! I'd say God has been trying to get a hold of him through his music 🙌

  49. w.... r....

    How come all other his songs are played so much but not this ome

    w.... r....

    Society and hollyweird, in general, are trying to suppress Christians and Christianity. They can try but they will fail!!

  50. A.... M....

    This song really speaks to me right now!! Love Brantley Gilbert!!❤

  51. E.... C....

    Ive messed up a lot in my life and this song helps me think it all through.The only reason i get up in the mournin is for my gf and to help people in need.love this song

  58. M.... J....

    and man, this song really hits home for me. I never thought God could accept someone like me. But three feet of water saved me. I was baptized in three feet of water and that water cleansed me. made me whole again

    M.... J....

    Mike Jones the sanctification ain't in the water but through the Blood of Jesus and if you got saved and baptized Praise God brother

  59. M.... J....

    L.... K....

    Lance Kelly every day is a struggle but God has got this I was on the stuff too God got tired put me in prison I just got out June 1st of this year was there 15 months I thank God for sitting me down cause now im in church got the holy ghost and living every day for Jesus Christ your in my prayers

    L.... K....

    Hoppe things are still getting better for you...I lost my only child to drugs in 2015. Every time you need support, listen to this...I will pray for you today, and many thereafter.

  61. A.... H....

    love the meaning behind this song. Am i the only one who gets chills every time he hits the high note while singing "you took my cross so i could leave it all"? so much love for brantley and this song

    A.... H....

    Alexandria Henderson no I get chills too but when it says in the name of the son and the father when my chills start

    A.... H....

    It really hits me at “in a few more steps from now, they’ll all be washed away”

    A.... H....

    Truly a take your breath song....Sat in awe the first time I saw it, and I still do.

    A.... H....
