Oceans

This song is helping to calm the panic that very easily rises in my heart these days when I think about all the changes coming our way. All the goodbyes. 

We're taking a step of faith. It's risky and very scary! But also very exciting. I was so comfortable in my life here. God doesn't want us to be comfortable. He wants to streatch us, sometimes uncomfortably so, to grow closer to Him and to know Him more fully. And I wouldn't trade that for anything, even a comfortable life.




Going deeper and growing in faith. That's what I want. Where ever you would call us Lord, "You've never failed and You won't start now."

"Oceans"


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

What about you? What song is speaking to your heart right now?
