These Waters

I can trust God with my life God has a plan for me I was born with a purpose I was born with talents I was born with a mission To set the captive free I can trust God with my life I try to say these truths to myself Over and over Hoping somehow they sink in Praying somehow they shout louder than the voices that haunt me Cuz from day to day they are battling With all the words inside of me The many wars inside of me Like what if God fails me What if I make a mistake And I ruin the lives of the people Around me what if I'm the one person Who doesn't have a purpose What if my talents are not good enough What if my decisions are not good Enough what if my life is not up to par Of what everyone expects of me And I'm drowning in the sea of what-ifs But I am not the only one I heard a story once Of a man named Peter Who was asked by Jesus To come Walk on Water Peter was at Sea in a boat with his friends A storm came in And then Jesus from the shore began to Walk on water And then asked Peter to join him To take a leap of faith and step out with him On to the wave beneath him Jesus asked Peter to trust him And for a moment, Peter did And he stared into the eyes of Jesus And he walked on water But then his eyes got distracted He saw the waves of the storm He saw the ripples of the ocean Underneath his toes and then he began to sink in the Sea of what ifs What if I can't do this What if my feet slip What if I don't make it And I'm just a disappointment What if I shouldn't have listened to Jesus And the moment he looked away from him The moment he started to doubt him Peter began to sink In the sea that surrounded him But Jesus reached out to him Grabbed his hand and saved him And said to him where is your faith Why did you doubt me And to be honest The story isn't too different from me See there's a little bit of Peter Right here inside of me There's a little bit of this lack Of trust manifesting within all of us Because we stop staring into the eyes of Jesus And start looking at how scary The waters are beneath us But Jesus wants us to step out To Stop drowning in the sea of doubts And start to walk on this water He wants us to dive in Into all his kingdom has to offer And Satan has come To plant doubt into our hearts But Jesus has come To redeem the what if's and he wants to ask us "What if you just trusted me with your life? What if you knew that I would be With you when it comes to that high dive? What if you knew these Waters Have been made for you? To walk onto to dive into And I would never let you drown I am always here to catch you What if you knew You could trust God your father? You could do greater things Than simply walking on water." See I know that doubt is comfortable I know that doubt is all we know I know that thinking Of being loose from it's Chains Seems a task impossible But Jesus has come to pull us out So that is the victory I hold on to When the Demons of disbelief Come back around and try to haunt me When I start doubting like Peter And I'm scared of drowning I will stand with my head high And stare Jesus straight into the eyes And take a step And repeat and repeat and repeat this I can trust God with my life Because God has a plan for me And I was born with a purpose I was born with talents I was born with a mission To set the captive free I can trust God with my life Because God has a plan for me And I was born with a purpose I was born with talents I was born with a mission To set the captive free What if, what if, what if I just trusted God with my life There are no waters that are too deep for me.
