You Say
Rachael Nemiroff Lyrics


Jump to: Overall Meaning ↴  Line by Line Meaning ↴

All these emotions like an ocean tide
Rising and falling again
These rushing doubts are filling up my mind
Pulling me deeper in

Though it feels like I cannot see
I hear Your voice calling out to me
You say just hold on, this is a walk of faith
You say your love is strong and I can trust your ways
You say follow me through the wind and the waves
Oh You say I am safe in the arms of grace

Though I can′t always seem to understand
You always lead me through this storm
I know that I don't have a perfect plan
But Lord I′ll trust in Yours,
Oh-oh-oh-oh-ohh

You say just hold on, this is a walk of faith
You say your love is strong and I can trust Your ways
You say follow me through the wind and the waves
Oh You say I am safe in the arms of grace

I will seek Your face
For You alone can save
Fill me full of faith
To trust You
I will trust You

You say just hold on
You say your love is strong
You say follow me
Oh You say I am safe
You say just hold on, this is a walk of faith
You say Your love is strong and I can trust Your ways
You say follow me through the wind and the waves
Oh You say I am safe in the arms of grace

You say I'm safe in the arms of grace




Oh Lord I trust Your ways
'Cause You say I am safe in the arms of grace
