Lyrics
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
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||
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 (5) ||I will call upon||

Jesus often calls us beyond the safety of the shore into places where our own strength isn't enough. Stepping into the deep unknown can feel terrifying, yet it is precisely in those overwhelming waters that we experience His profound presence. As you sing today, fix your eyes on Christ rather than the swirling storm around you. Trust that the One who holds the oceans will never let you sink as you yield your life to Him.
