Drown

I see a ghost, a spirit

Walking on the water

He bids me come to Him

Without a boat

To walk upon the sea

So I jump over the edge

And take a step upon the water

I’m getting closer

As I feel the sea move

Underneath my feet

I feel the wind and hear

The roar of waves

That crash around me

And when they get their hold on me

I feel I’m going down

Please don’t let me drown

Like Peter all those years ago

Who looked away and sank below

When I sink in seas of doubt

Will You take my hand and pull me out?

The devil and the deep blue sea

With open arms awaiting me

But I won’t go down tonight

If I keep my eyes on You, I’ll be alright

God, the storms are heavy

And the waves have beaten me down

And the winds have turned me

Every which way

Round and round and round

It’s so hard to focus

But I don’t want to look away

Even when the waves grow higher

Every day

Higher every day

Like Peter all those years ago

Who looked away and sank below

When I sink in seas of doubt

Will You take my hand and pull me out?

The devil and the deep blue sea

With open arms awaiting me

But I won’t go down tonight

If I keep my eyes on You, I’ll be alright

Waves and whirlwinds turn my eyes

Raging under threatening skies

The miracles of yesterday

Can sometimes seem so far away

Oh we of little faith, how quickly we forget

Tired and battered by the waves

Won’t let the waters be my grave

Devotion deeper than the sea

The ocean’s tide won’t swallow me

A hand is reaching

I grab it and rise
