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
