Walk On Water

The waters saw you, lord, the coastlands trembled
Through the mighty sea you made your way
Though your footsteps were unseen
In the night you came to me
While the boat was tossing in the waves

Are you but a ghost?’ I cried in terror
‘Take courage, it is I. Don’t be afraid
‘Lord, if it’s you, command I come
And walk upon the water now
You whom even wind and seas obey

He said, ‘come to me and walk upon the water
Come in faith my grace will be enough
If you believe, you’ll come to know love’s power
Come to me, and I will hold you up

I held the boat’s edge, putting one leg over
The sea was dancing underneath my feet
I looked to you and I let go of everything I claim to know
Carried by the grace you’ve given me

But can I really walk upon this water?
The wind is strong and I am so afraid
My faith is weak, lord, save me with your power
I am sinking deep into the waves

You raised your hand and stretched it out to save me
The sea was parted underneath your gaze
You lifted me up from waters wild
You claimed me as your child
Saying, ‘why’d you doubt, o you of little faith?

Lord, you brought me out of egypt through the waters
You baptized me with power to believe
Truly, you’re the son of God, lord Jesus
Keep me in the harbor of your peace
Be still my soul, for God can do all things
