Let me start by saying that I have by no means had a difficult life. I was born into a loving family that worked hard and always had food to eat. I have married a loving man that treats me well and provides for our family. Those things alone, I understand that I am have been blessed and live an advantaged life. But it hasn’t always been a walk in the park either. Like many of you, I suppose. Life has given us many blissful moments, and also broken our hearts. In my journey of life I have gained a glimpse of what it means to have faith. Over the next month, I would like to share this journey with you.
For now though, I want to share this video with you. It is my favorite song. It’s pretty long (9 minutes) but I’m always disappointed when it’s over. And it really expresses how my life journey has affected me. I have experienced first hand, “You’ve never failed and You won’t start now.” I continually call upon The Lord “When oceans rise.” My prayer for my life is to be led “where my trust is without borders.” And I do “rest in [His] embrace.” That’s the only way I have survived so far on this journey.
You call me out upon the waters
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
So 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
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
