Fear

Oh, what I would do

To have the kind of faith it takes

To climb out of this boat I'm in

Onto the crashing waves

To step out of my comfort zone

Into the realm of the unknown

Where Jesus is,

And He's holding out His hand

But the waves are calling out my name

And they laugh at me

Reminding me of all the times

I've tried before and failed

The waves they keep on telling me

Time and time again

"boy, you'll never win,

You'll never win,

You'll never win."

Oh, what I would do

To have the kind of strength it takes

To stand before a giant

With just a sling and stone

Surrounded by the sound

Of a thousand warriors

Shaking in their armour

Wishing they'd have had the strength to stand

But the giant's calling out

My name and he laughs at me

Reminding me of all the times

I've tried before and failed

The giant keeps on telling me

Time and time again

"boy you'll never win,

You'll never win,

You'll never win."

But the stone was just the right size

To take the giant down

And the waves don't seem so high

When I'm standing on top of them looking down

And I'd soar with the wings of eagles

If I could just ignore the sound

Of the waves and the giants,

The waves and the giants in my mind

Lord, you've not given me a spirit of fear

But of power and of love,

And of a sound mind

So from now on,

I won't let the tempter's lies

Turn my eyes away from the prize

That you have set before me.

That you have set before me.
