I cannot think of any place that I am more uncomfortable than in the ocean waters. It’s deep, it’s dark, it’s powerful and it can be unpredictable. In fact uncomfortable is a severe understatement, fear is probably a more accurate term. That being said, I love the beach, I love the sound of the waves, and I love to sail, but being in the ocean itself requires a lot of encouragement.
For the last few days, this song has been at the forefront of my mind, even find myself singing it when I am alone. I like that it portrays a picture of taking steps of faith in the face of something that in reality I actually fear. The imagery that through faith God will keep my head above the waves and through complete trust, set aside fear and He will let me walk on water. I am not sure that there is more to it than that, but I thought I would share the song. I like to close my eyes and sing this song back to God as a prayer and a praise, you should try it!
Lyrics:
The great unknown where feet may fail
And there I find You in the mystery
In oceans deep
My faith will standAnd I will call upon Your name
And keep my eyes above the waves
When oceans rise
My soul will rest in Your embrace
For I am Yours and You are mine
Your grace abounds in deepest waters
Your sovereign hand
Will be my guide
Where feet may fail and fear surrounds me
You’ve never failed and You won’t start now
So I will call upon Your name
And keep my eyes above the waves
When oceans rise
My soul will rest in Your embrace
For I am Yours and You are mine
[6x]
Spirit lead me where my trust is without borders
Let me walk upon the waters
Wherever You would call me
Take me deeper than my feet could ever wander
And my faith will be made stronger
In the presence of my Savior
I will call upon Your name
Keep my eyes above the waves
My soul will rest in Your embrace
I am Yours and You are mine
