Carrie Underwood Was Told Not to Praise Jesus in Public


By Diana  CONSERVATIVE POST  on December 19, 2014



Recently, Carrie Underwood has come under heavy scrutiny by both the pop and country music industries. Her new single, “Something in the Water” has developed quite the uproar as it centers around Jesus Christ and what the Bible says about being reborn.


In response to the controversy Carrie stated:

“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.”

Thank you Carrie for standing strong in your faith and determination in the music industry. If you haven’t had a chance to watch Carrie Underwood’s hit video, check it out below. It is absolutely beautiful.


He said, “I’ve been where you’ve been before.
Down every hallway’s a slamming door.
No way out, no one to come and save me.
Wasting a life that the Good Lord gave me.

Then somebody said what I’m saying to you,
Opened my eyes and told me the truth.”
They said, “Just a little faith, 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

There must’ve been something in the water
Oh, there must’ve been something in the water

Carrie Underwood

Full lyrics:

He said I've been where you've been before
Down every hallway's a slamming door
No way out, no one to come and save me
Wasting a life that the Good Lord gave you
There's somebody saying what I'm saying to you
Open 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

There must've been something in the water
Oh there must've been something in the water

Well I heard what he said and I went on my way
Didn't think about it for a couple of days
Then it hit me like a lightning late one night
I was all out of hoping, all out of fight
Couldn't fight back the 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 and now I'm changed

And now I'm stronger

There must be something in the water
Oh there must be something in the water

And now I'm singing all along to amazing grace
Can't nobody wipe this smile off my face
Got joy in my heart, angels on my side
Thank God almighty I saw the light
Going to look ahead, no turning back
live everyday, give it all that I have
Trusted someone bigger than me
Ever since the day that I believed I am changed

And now I'm stronger

There must be been something in the water
Oh there must be something in the water
Oh there must be something in the water
Oh there must be something in the water
Oh yeah

I'm stronger
Stronger

I'm free

"How Great Thou Art" 

ACM Girls' Night Out

Uploaded on May 11, 2011

"ACM Girls' Night Out: Superstar Women of Country" at the MGM Grand Garden Arena in Las Vegas on April 4th, 2011. The event/concert honored great female artists who have helped to shape the industry for those that followed.

Carrie Underwood & Vince Gill's duet (a jaw-dropping performance), brought the audience to their feet, for a standing ovation a full minute before the song ended. Another highlight was Gill's beautiful guitar solo, from 1:34 - 2:57, playing a full verse instrumental.

lyrics "How Great Thou Art":

O Lord my God, When I in awesome wonder,
Consider all the worlds Thy Hands have made;
I see the stars, I hear the rolling thunder,
Thy power throughout the universe displayed.

Then sings my soul, My Saviour God, to Thee,
How great Thou art, How great Thou art.
Then sings my soul, My Saviour God, to Thee,
How great Thou art, How great Thou art!

When Christ shall come, with shout of acclamation,
And take me home, what joy shall fill my heart.
Then I shall bow, in humble adoration,
And then proclaim: "My God, how great Thou art!"

Then sings my soul, My Saviour God, to Thee,
How great Thou art, How great Thou art.
Then sings my soul, My Saviour God, to Thee,
How great Thou art, How great Thou art!

How great Thou art, How great Thou art!

Carrie Underwood's Newest Song Sings of Strong Christian Themes

Carrie Underwood's Newest Song Sings of Strong Christian Themes

By Charis Brown, 7 Cultural Mountains

Her newest song, "Something in the Water," describes a heartfelt conversion experience.

Carrie Underwood, the country superstar and Grammy winner first discovered on American Idol is not shy about her Christian faith.

"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 told NBC's TODAY.

From singing "How Great Thou Art" as a duet with Vince Gill to talking with Oprah about her prayer life, Underwood is never afraid to talk about her faith when she has the opportunity. Recently, she and her husband, hockey player Mike Fisher, surprised attendees at the Q Conference in Nashville to talk about their marriage and respective callings. She credited Nashville with being a supportive environment to be a Christian.

"It's easy to be a Christian in Nashville," she said.

But, there are definitely some critics who don't appreciate the song's candid message.

"I'm not the first person to sing about God, Jesus, faith [or] any of that, and I won't be the last," said Underwood to Glamour Magazine. "And it won't be the last for me, either. If you don't like it, change the channel."
