In a dim-lit bar, lost in my own despair
Sipping whiskey and drowning, sending you my prayer
With each empty bottle, I sink deeper still
Caught in the grip of this addiction's cruel thrill

Oh, change my whiskey to water
Lord, wash away this pain
I'm begging for your mercy
Break these chains, break these chains

I stumble through the darkness, haunted by regret
Every drop of liquor, a deeper debt
Searching for redemption, in the depths of my soul
Hoping for a miracle to make me whole

Oh, change my whiskey to water
Lord, cleanse my tainted soul
I'm reaching out in desperation
Make me new, make me whole
Oh, Oh, Oh, Oh

The bottles are empty, but my heart's still full of thirst
I'm crying out for healing, from this curse that I've rehearsed
I'm ready to surrender, to a power greater than my own
Take this burden from me, let your grace be shown

Through tear-stained eyes, I see a glimmer of light
A beacon of hope, cutting through the night
With trembling hands, I reach out to the sky
In that moment, I feel my spirit fly

You changed my whiskey to water
Lord, you heard my desperate plea
I'm free from chains that bound me
You've set my spirit free

From the depths of addiction, to the heights of grace
I'll sing of your mercy, in every time and place
You changed my whiskey to water
Now I'll live in your embrace
