Song Description

Jazz ballad, theme of trusting God in difficult circumstances and suffering

Lyrics

All the seas you want to part for me
I've swum across before I've even thought to pray
And the light you want to hold for me
I do without and stumble round to feel my way
I get by okay on my own

Then you let the floods come rushing in
Washing away my fortress, my stronghold
You shatter my illusion of control
And here among the crashing waves
I find I'm safe, held in your hand

All the seas you'd have me walk upon
I row across because that seems more sensible
Then I watch as others step into the water
And watch them run to you
And wonder when I'll get my miracle
So Lord, if that is you, then bid me come
And when I sink into the waves
I'll find I'm safe, held in your hand

Lord, if I know you
You won't let me drown here, sink down here
Lord, if I know you
You will keep me safe here 'til
This storm is still
Held in your hand

My castle, nothing more than rubble
So quick to fall, for all my trouble
And yet I stand
For you've shaken all that could be shaken
Stripped away, but not forsaken your child
