lyrics

Verse 1:

The clouds are darkening around me, choking out the blue sky
Thunder and lightning this frightening image strikes my two eyes

I thought i was fine, yet I feel I'm being tested
maybe my body was awake but my soul is sleeping resting

Wake up! And now i thought Id never say this
But maybe I'm not as strong as I thought I'm feeling shaken

Suddenly I see a face in the distance over the misty water
I wave my hands and shout he reaches out for me to follow

Is that you, Lord? He says Have the faith to come to me
I want to trust in him but I'm so afraid of stumbling

His eyes pierce mine, but my mind is struggling
One foot in the boat, other foot over the sea

Suddenly I breathe in it's just me and him
The storm doesn't affect me anymore there's this peace within

Without realizing it, I'm now standing on the water
But my faith starts to falter, I'm falling Lord falling

Chorus:

But the waves and the water, Lord, they take me asunder
I look up to see your face but see the rain and the thunder
My lungs are drowning in the ocean, mouth opens up to shout
I reach out from the waters, pleace Lord lift me out!

Verse 2:

My life's a living whirlpool
And my mind spinnin' in circles

As I try to jump the hurdles
To get past the hurt and struggles

The Lord called out to me
He told me what I outta be

I turned away and gave my apology
Delved deep, and saw it was a part of me

Gave me His Word, said; Follow Me
To die to self upon a tree

They'd target us as enemies
And write us up with felonies

But blessed are they who have not seen
They continue the race, they still believe

Passing on apostolic prodigy
The Gospel Word acknowledging

So strengthen my faith from a mustard seed
Prepare me to receive these trusted keys

Temptations rise; a tumultuous sea
Complications are high like a full blown siege

I may walk on ice, but it break like glass
I gave up thrice, but my Faith outlasts

A step off the boat, waves came up fast
Start to lose hope, as I raise up my hands

The waters raging harder and my heart is feeling farther

The clouds are seeming darker I'm departing from the father

Lift my head up from the tumults
As my body's getting pummeled

Looking forward sight encumbered hearing thunder going under

(Chorus)

Bridge:

The waves can take me, so please, Lord, save me....

(Chorus)
