When I first heard it, I felt I could never do it justice, however I really loved the words so have been leading it a fair bit lately - as best I can. But why do these words resonate so much?
I think it's that they aren't easy words, they don't allow me to sit comfortably in the pew, content with my salvation expecting life to drift along without storms or trials or challenges...
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 Saviour... *
Even just the words from the bridge are confronting and scary, and yet my heart yearns not to settle for the safe and mediocre but to be aware of the leading of my God and to step out resting in His embrace as He leads me to where He would have me go. He will help me keep my balance on the waves if I keep my eyes fixed on Him.
I wonder do we ever see clearly where it is God is leading? Or is it like in the song...surrounded by waves we only see Him and are called just to trust in where he leads... food for thought.
