“The Water on the Eighteenth”
Contemporary Christian · FreeCustomSong Original
Micah, you’ve been building with a patient hand
Working through the shadows, learning where to stand
Always making room for the weary and the lost
Opening your arms, never counting up the cost
It takes a humble spirit to weather every storm
To keep the fire burning and keep the others warm
ChorusSo cast the heavy burdens, let the worries fall away
He is right beside you in the quiet of the day
Like the promise in Matthew, you can finally find your rest
Every ounce of striving is already being blessed
You don't have to carry what was never yours to hold
Let the grace unfold
Verse 2Think of April eighteenth, twenty-twenty-six
Stepping in the water where the light and river mix
Washing off the heavy days, breathing in the new
Knowing that the Maker is looking out for you
Resilient in the current, you stood up in the tide
With nothing left to prove and nothing left to hide
ChorusSo cast the heavy burdens, let the worries fall away
He is right beside you in the quiet of the day
Like the promise in Matthew, you can finally find your rest
Every ounce of striving is already being blessed
You don't have to carry what was never yours to hold
Let the grace unfold
BridgeThe letter to the Romans says it's working for the good
Through every long season where you faithfully have stood
The pressure builds the patience, the patience builds the hope
A hard-working anchor at the end of every rope
So give Him all the anxious thoughts that keep you up at night
And step into the light
Final ChorusAnd cast the heavy burdens, let the worries fall away
He is right beside you in the quiet of the day
Like the promise in Matthew, you can finally find your rest
Every ounce of striving is already being blessed
Micah, you can leave it in the water and the cold
Let the grace unfold
Yeah, let the grace unfold
