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.
-Oceans (Where Feet May Fail) // Hillsong United
This song is just wrecking my heart.
Anytime I learn music for something, I really try to make it about more than just learning a song. I want God to do something in me- change something, reveal something in my life and in my heart. Because there's something so powerful in leading a song that God has used to first wreck and change something in you... An authority to stand up and proclaim something that you now so firmly believe. So when I first started learning Oceans, my prayer was that God would do just that. Little did I know- I was in for more than I bargained for. (In a good way...)
Spirit, lead me where my trust is without borders // Let me walk upon the waters // wherever You would call me
I'm really good at saying I trust God, but if you were to look a little deeper, you'd see that I definitely struggle with giving Him complete control of all areas of my life. As if He doesn't have control anyway... Full out surrender to God can be a little scary. Giving Him all areas of my life... God, if I give this to you, are you ever going to give it back? But maybe He's not asking us to be crazy about it. He's just asking us to trust Him. Asking us to take that first little step of Hey, God... I'm not really sure about this and I'm a little nervous, but here you go. I trust You. I TRUST YOU. You are GOOD and I trust You... and He'll walk us the rest of the way. And then, I think on the other side, we just might find that what we were holding on to for so long, really wasn't all that great anyway.
Take me deeper than my feet could ever wander // and my faith will be made stronger // in the presence of my Savior...
I'm not really sure where following Him is going to lead, but I do know that I'm going to follow Him anyway. Deeper. In relentless pursuit. Even to the places where my feet can't reach the bottom and I can't stand on my own. Because my God is good. He is deserving. He's been chasing me since before I even knew Him and my life would be wasted if I didn't chase Him back.
