Popular singer Carrie Underwood kicks off her latest album with new single "Something in the Water," and although it's her first mainstream Christian release since smash hit "Jesus Take the Wheel," the song's music video has some praising the singer's spirited video and others criticizing the choreography.

Underwood is known to throw in a Christian hymn here and there when performing live, but as for an original Christian tune from the song bird there has been none since her 2005 hit "Jesus Take the Wheel." In her new song "Something in the Water," which is presumably about the ordinance from Jesus Christ to be baptized, Underwood holds nothing back.

The music video is filled choreographed dances performed in water while a well-dressed Underwood stands in the center and sings. Many online are commending the singer for combining original dancing, her singing, and faith. Others think Underwood pushed the envelope too far with scenes in the video where she is laying down around a group of under dancers on top of each other.

Despite the criticism the lyrics are overtly Christian. In the first verse the former American Idol is heard talking about tough times. "Wasting a life that the Good Lord gave me," she sings:

"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," She continued.

Her first Christian hit was written from the perspective of someone crying out to God for help and this song follows in that same theme.

"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," the next verse goes on to say.

The song ends with the Oklahoma native triumphantly singing "Amazing Grace." Underwood certainly provides the listener with a heart felt performance and the words of her last verse speak of the joy and peace that Jesus promises when someone opens their heart to Him.

"And now I'm singing 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

Gonna look ahead, no turning back

Live everyday, give it all that I have

Trust in someone bigger than me

Ever since the day that I believed I am changed

And now I'm stronger.

There must be something in the water," she exclaimed.
