Today has been emotional to put it mildly. I've been listening to this song over and over and over again- it reminds me of everything. Sweet anticipation (almost to the point of impatience) of Jesus coming again, deep deep sorrow that only my God can console, submission to a trust that runs so deep that all my fears cease to exist in His presence, seeking and finding permission to be just me. Just wholefully resting in my Jesus' arms. Words just don't do it justice. Sometimes a song can come close.
Close your eyes and just picture Jesus calling you out into the waters- scary, unknown, death-seeking waters. The waves all around you are higher than you can see. The devil has shaken and stirred the water so high. The world says you are sure to drown and you realize just how small you really are. You look at Him and He holds you secure. You see the catastrophe all around you. But you haven't been swallowed up. Soon you find yourself going limp as you give up control. Trust overpowers fear and you submit with complete confidence in Him. Not only are you safe, but you are stronger than you could ever have imagined...

"Oceans (Where Feet May Fail)"
by Hillsong
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
[6x]
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
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
[6x]
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
