Story Behind The Song

I GOT A NEW TUNING IDEA FOR MY MANDOLIN AND BEGAN AT 3AM TO PLAY THE MANDOLIN/OUD REFRAIN TO THIS SONG. ONE SUNDAY MORNING DURING OUR PRAISE TIME I STARTED TO PLAY THE MANDOLIN AND THE MELODY CAME FLOODING OUT. I LATER FILLED IN THE MULTIPLE VERSES AND REFRAINS.

Song Description

A SONG OF FAITH AND IN TRUSTING GOD TO BE WITH US IN THE STORMS OF LIFE.

Lyrics

"COME OUT OF THE BOAT"

CHORUS:
COME OUT OF THE BOAT AND WALK UPON THE WATER
COME OUT OF THE BOAT AND WALK WITH ME
COME OUT OF THE BOAT AND WALK UPON THE WATER
COME OUT OF THE BOAT, I'LL SET YOU FREE

REFRAIN:
YOU'RE WALKING, YOU'RE WALKING
KEEP MOVING ON
YOU'RE WALKING, YOU'RE WALKING
KEEP YOUR EYES UPON
YOU'RE WALKING, YOU'RE WALKING
WITH YOU'RE LORD AND KING
YOU'RE WALKING, KEEP WALKING
WE SHOUT AND SING

VERSE 1:
DO NOT LISTEN TO THE WINDS OF WONDERING
DO NOT GAZE UPON THE WAVES OF DOUBT AND FEAR
ONLY LOOK TO HIM AS YOUR SOURCE OF VICTORY
WALK UPON HIS WORD, IT'S LOUD AND CLEAR

VERSE 2:
DO NOT BE DISTRACTED BY THE WORLD'S UNEASINESS
DO NOT CONSIDER WORLDLY DOUBTS AND FEARS
WALK FIRMLY ON TOWARD YOUR LORD AND SAVIOR
HIS WORD AND PRESENCE ARE ALWAYS NEAR

CHORUS:

VERSE 3:
BE NOT BEGUILED BY THE WORLD OF CIRCUMSTANCE
RATHER WALK IN HIS SIMPLICITY
WALKING EVER ONWARD IN SPITE OF
HAPPENSTANCE
ACT UPON HIS WORDS THEY'RE LOUD AND CLEAR

CHORUS:

VERSE 4:
ONLY LOOK TO HIM AS YOUR EARS ARE LISTENING
CALM SEAS OF FAITH AND TRUST ARE GLISTENING
ABOVE ALL THE ROAR AND THE WAVES OF WONDERING
HIS LIFE AND TRUTH IN YOU ARE THUNDERING

VERSE 5:
THERE IS A CLOUD OF WITNESSES CHEERING YOU
A CHORUS IN HEAVEN WHOSE EYES ARE SEEING THROUGH
EVERY STEP YOU TAKE RECORDED IN HISTORY
EVERY PLACE RECLAIMED A KINGDOM VICTORY

BRIDGE:
OUT OF THE BOAT, GET OUT WHILE YOU CAN
OUT OF THE BOAT, WALK OUT ON HIS COMMAND
OUT OF THE BOAT, ON HIS WORD WE WILL STAND
OUT OF THE BOAT, UNTO OUR PROMISED LAND

REFRAIN AND ROUND
COME OUT OF THE BOAT AND WALK UPON THE WATER
YOU'RE WALKING, KEEP WALKING, KEEP YOUR EYES UPON
YOU'RE WALKING, YOU'RE WALKING............
