Song Lyrics
My child
Step out of the boat
And into My arms
You may fear that
You will sink
But I’ll catch you, lift you
The waves may
Try and pull you under
But My love for you
Will sustain
Chorus
I’ll sustain you
Lift you
Never let you go
Just keep your eyes upon Me
Jesus
And may the love in your eyes
Lock with Mine
Lord
I’m out of the boat
And look, I’m afloat
And as I walk toward You
My eyes are fixed
Upon Your sweet face
The billows roundabout
Do dance and shout
But Your peace
It leads me on
Chorus
I’ll sustain you
Lift you
Never let you go
Just keep your eyes upon Me
Jesus
And may the love in your eyes
Lock with Mine
Lord
What’s happening
The waves are aclimbing
And under I do go
Lord, help me, help me
Ere I sink
And those in the boat
Watch me go
Lord help me, help me
I fear I may very well drown
Chorus
I’ll sustain you
Lift you
Never let you go
Just keep your eyes upon Me
Jesus
And may the love in your eyes
Lock with Mine
My child
My child
Reach out your hand
Search out my eyes once again
Whenever you look at
Your circumstance
Our connection
Our love
Will be swept far away
Till you look unto me once again
Bridge
Oh! Jesus
You lifted me
You lifted me
You took my sinking life
You lifted me
You set me free
In the ocean of peace and love
Chorus
Oh! You sustained me
You lifted me
You never let me go
‘Cause I kept my eyes upon You
Jesus
And now the love in our eyes
The love in our eyes
Looks love in the eye, forever aglow

God is Not Against You - He Came on an All Out Rescue Mission to Save You
...in Christ God was reconciling the world to himself, not counting their trespasses against them... 2 Cor 5:19
Therefore, my friends, I want you to know that through Jesus the forgiveness of sins is proclaimed to you. Acts 13:38
LEARN & TRUST JESUS HERE
FaithWriters offers Christian reading material for Christian readers. We offer Christian articles, Christian fiction, Christian non-fiction, Christian Bible studies, Christian poems, Christian articles for sale, free use Christian articles, Christian living articles, New Covenant Christian Bible Studies, Christian magazine articles and new Christian articles. We write for Jesus about God, the Bible, salvation, prayer and the word of God.
I believe you could also use this as a "cheer" or "responsive reading" where the worship leader does the verses and has the congregation yell out the verse as a form of praise. We need to learn to trust Jesus to keep us afloat, especially during these last days.
Keep up the encouragement that helps us keep our eyes fixed on Jesus!
One comment is that I think there are too many choruses. As you read the words, the "flow" of the song is not real clear. It doesn't follow the normal verse/chorus pattern and leaves you wondering what's next or where do I go from here?
Many new praise choruses do the same thing, but it's helpful if the song has an established pattern.
Great job!
