Carrie Underwood Speaks About Her Faith; Watch Her Video "Something in the Water" Here

Former American Idol champ and country music supersat Carrie Underwood speaks candidly about her faih in Jesus Christ as she releases her new faith-filled single, "Something In The Water." The lyrics of "Something In The Water" include: "I was all out of hoping, all out of fight, couldn't fight back my tears so I fell on my knees, saying God if you're there come and rescue me, felt love pouring down from above, got washed in the water, washed in the blood."
The song ends with an interpolation of "Amazing Grace" before Underwood powerfully sings out a portion of the hymn. It is available on iTunes and will be featured on "Greatest Hits #1," which is Underwood's first compilation album.
The brand-new song features major Christian themes including conversion, baptism, and keeping the faith, with lyrics that include, "I followed that preacher down to the river and now I am changed, and now I'm stronger, there must have been something in the water."
"After I released 'Jesus Take the Wheel,' people started saying, 'Oh, it's kind of risky. You're coming out with a religious song,'" the 31-singer revealed, according to Esquire magazine. "And I was thinking, 'Really?' I grew up in Oklahoma, I always had a close relationship with God. I never thought it was risky in the least. If anything, I thought it was the safest thing I could do."
"Something In The Water" is Underwood's first new release since 2012's album "Blown Away" and is part of her forthcoming greatest hits album, which is headed to stores on Dec. 9. The singer described the ballad as a "joyous, uplifting song, basically about changing your life for the better.
