Song Lyrics

---

I’ve been in this boat for far too long
It doesn’t take me where I need to go
If I’m gonna walk where You lead me
I’ll have to get out of the boat I know
Yeah the waves are high
And the wind is strong
But I know that You will be
Here with me all along

Standing on the water, I felt so afraid
Started to sink, but then I heard You say
“Don’t you understand?
I hold you in my hands
Fear not my child, keep your eyes off of the sea.
As you walk across the water, look at Me.”

My life was going nowhere
Drifting to a distant shore
Then I found You and I
Didn’t want to drift anymore
You said, “Come take my hand.
You can walk upon the waves.”
I took Your gift and since then
I have never been the same

Standing on the water, I felt so afraid
Started to sink, but then I heard You say
“Don’t you understand?
I hold you in my hands
Fear not my child, keep your eyes off of the sea.
As you walk across the water, look at Me.”

You lift me up and then
You catch me when I start to fall
And I’ll be running to You
Every time I hear You call
Sure the waves are high
But Your love is deeper than the sea
And I know I can walk on water
If You say, “Come to Me.”

Standing on the water, I felt so afraid
Started to sink, but then I heard You say
“Don’t you understand?
I hold you in my hands
Fear not my child, keep your eyes off of the sea.
As you walk across the water, look at Me.”
