Jump to: Overall Meaning ↴  Line by Line Meaning ↴

You call me out upon the water,
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.
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.
Oooooh,
And You are mine, ooooh, ooh.
Jesus, You are my God, You are my God.
Jesus, You are my God, You are my God.
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.
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.
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.
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.
