You call me out upon the waters
The great unknown where feet may fail
And there I find You in the mystery
In oceans deep
My faith will stand
And 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
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
- Oceans (where feet may fail) by: Hillsong United
I love this song and the story that it depicts.
Being led out into the storms of this life and looking to God for direction and protection in every step.
Taking steps into the unknown, not knowing what to expect, but relying fully on God.
The song cries out in my head, turning my thoughts to nothing but how faithful God is.
God will place us in situations in our lives, with sole purposes of having us grow in our faith and trust.
God wants us to turn to Him, not anything else. When we are struggling, we shouldn't shrug it off and distract our minds with sports, electronics, or anything else. God wants us to stop what we're doing and turn ourselves and our situation over to Him.
If you have a situation that you're struggling with, don't try to deal with it by yourself or not acknowledge it all, trust God with it!
