Story Behind The Song
I realized the relationship between God's first act of salvation, the ARK and the Great Flood, and the second and ultimate act of Salvation, Jesus on the Cross, and how we receive that gift of salvation. The common material elements of both Wood (ARK, CROSS) and Water (Great Flood, Baptism) are symbolic in God's salvation process.
Song Description
A realization of how God uses common elements (water, wood) in a symbolic manner in HIS salvation process.

Lyrics
BIG SPLASH ALL OVER THE FLOOR
SLIP AND BUMP YOUR HEAD ON THE DOOR
ONE OF THE WAYS TO USE
WATER AND WOOD
TWO THINGS AS COMMON AS THESE
BIG 'OL LAKES AND ACRES OF TREES
WHY DO YOU THINK HE'D CHOOSE
WATER AND WOOD
CAUSE WATER CAN RISE LIKE A RAGING FLOOD
CARRY YOU BACK TO THE SAVING BLOOD
WASH AWAY FROM YOUR EYES THE MUD
WATER AND WOOD
WOOD CAN BURN LIKE A BLAZING TREE
BUILT A CROSS FOR THE WORLD TO SEE
AND IT'S STANDING FOR YOU AND ME
WATER AND WOOD
HARD RAIN ALL OVER THE WORLD
ROUGH CUT GRAIN OF CYPRESS WOOD
FAR AS THE EYE COULD SEE
WATER AND WOOD
THESE THINGS ACCORDING TO PLAN
SAVED US ONCE AND DOES IT AGAIN
JUST FOLLOW THE WAY THAT LEADS TO
WATER AND WOOD
CAUSE WATER CAN RISE LIKE A RAGING FLOOD
CARRY YOU BACK TO THE SAVING BLOOD
WASH AWAY FROM YOUR EYES THE MUD
WATER AND WOOD
WOOD CAN BURN LIKE A BLAZING TREE
BUILT A CROSS FOR THE WORLD TO SEE
AND IT'S STANDING FOR YOU AND ME
WATER AND WOOD
WATER AND WOOD
HE FISHED ON IT
HE WALKED ON IT
HE CHANGED
WATER TO WINE
HE BUILT WITH IT
HE HUNG ON IT
HE LEFT
THE CROSS BEHIND
CAUSE WATER CAN RISE LIKE A RAGING FLOOD
CARRY YOU BACK TO THE SAVING BLOOD
WASH AWAY FROM YOUR EYES THE MUD
WATER AND WOOD
WOOD CAN BURN LIKE A BLAZING TREE
BUILT A CROSS FOR THE WORLD TO SEE
AND IT'S STANDING FOR YOU AND ME
WATER AND WOOD
WATER CAN RISE LIKE A RAGING FLOOD
CARRY YOU BACK TO THE SAVING BLOOD
WASH AWAY FROM YOUR EYES THE MUD
WATER AND WOOD
WOOD CAN BURN LIKE A BLAZING TREE
BUILT A CROSS FOR THE WORLD TO SEE
AND IT'S STANDING FOR YOU AND ME
WATER AND WOOD
WATER AND WOOD
WATER AND WOOD
WATER AND...
WOOD
