From the recording Walk With Me
One of the biggest struggles of mortality has got to be the battle in each of us between fear and faith. I think of Peter jumping off the side of the boat to run towards the Savior, so full of faith and trust!! Until, in a moment of doubt, fear, humanity, he looked down. In the torrent of waves he took his eyes off the Savior and began to be overcome by the waves around him that previously he had walked on. Oh how well I can relate to Peter. How badly I want to have the kind of faith that allows me to run to the Savior without fear, without doubt! And yet, much like Peter, I get so caught up in the waves, the world, anything that takes my focus off Him and I also start to sink. And yet, I can see Him looking at me, just as, I’m sure he looked at Peter, with love, compassion and no judgement as he tells me, “don’t look at the waves, just take a step and breathe, you can walk on water when you walk with me”
Lyrics
Water crashing at my feet wondering if I’m doomed for deep
Everywhere around me the angry waters roar
Up ahead a glow of light calms the water, clears my mind
What could this be wandering so far from the shore?
Chorus
He reaches out, says come with me
And I’ll show you how to walk upon the sea
Don’t look at the waves just take a step and breathe
You can walk on water, when you walk with me
Waves of life still crash around, in the noise I start to drown
Everyone around me has so much to say
How to find His light and voice, I’m on the bough, I have a choice
Then light within the storm helps me see my way
Chorus
He reaches out says come with me
And I’ll show you how to walk upon the sea
Don’t look at the waves just take a step and breathe
You can walk on water, when you walk with me
Bridge
My feet are soaked the waves still roar
But in the dark I keep walking forward
But fear creeps in, I start to sink
Then Jesus says, just look at me
Don’t look at the waves, just take a step and breathe
You can walk on water when you walk with me
He who rules the waves takes my hand and helps me see
I can walk on water,
I can walk on water
I can walk on water
When He walks with me
