and he calls me out
to where my feet can't touch the ground.
Out past the familiar,
in the shallow zone,
to where the water moves and swirls.
I'm treading water deep,
I'm thrashing round.
I've lost my grip and my control.
My mind is tumbling, rumbling,
my heart is grasping, gasping,
my stomach's churning, turning.
His hand's stretched out to me.
He's standing firm.
His gentle voice says "Come".
Beyond theory and theology,
I know the possibility,
the power of his divinity.
I'm concentrating, hesitating
I'm stalling, falling,
I'm thinking, sinking,
He gently takes my hand,
buoys me up,
gives me breath and hope.
I'm walking at his side,
defying darkest depths,
in deepest, direst seas of life.
I'm with the one who made the seas,
who stirs the storms,
who calms my struggling soul.
He stills my raging storms,
quiets my soul,
leads me out to deeper things.
