Let The Waters Rise

"Let The Waters Rise"


Don't know where to begin
Its like my world's caving in
And I try but I can't control my fear
Where do I go from here?

Sometimes its so hard to pray
When You feel so far away
But I am willing to go
Where you want me to
God, I trust You

There's a raging sea
Right in front of me
Wants to pull me in
Bring me to my knees
So let the waters rise
If You want them to
I will follow You
I will follow You
I will follow You

I will swim in the deep
'Cuz You'll be next to me
You're in the eye of the storm
And the calm of the sea
You'll never out of reach

God, You know where I've been
You were there with me then
You were faithful before
You'll be faithful again
I'm holding Your hand

There's a raging sea
Right in front of me
Wants to pull me in
Bring me to my knees
So let the waters rise
If You want them to
I will follow You
I will follow You
I will follow You

God Your love is enough
You will pull me through
I'm holding onto You
God Your love is enough
I will follow You
I will follow You


"Sometimes it's so hard to pray, when you feel so far away"
Wow. Have you ever felt that way? I know I have. This song pretty much embodies what I feel like during those times when I feel like God is not listening, He doesn't care, or He has forgotten about me. Of course we know that God is NEVER far away. It is us who put the distance between ourselves and Him, not the other way around.

I think what I love most about this song is that it basically says that even though I can't feel you God, can't hear you God, can't see you God, I know that "Your love is enough, it will pull me through." His love is ENOUGH. His. Love. Is. Enough. It really is. We know that He loves us, and we know that we can hold on to His promise that he WILL pull us through. "I will follow You....I will follow You..." No matter what, I will follow Him, and He (alone!) WILL pull me through.

Same goes for you. Put your trust in Him, no matter the raging seas that are in front of you, no matter how high the waters rise, you won't drown. He's holding your hand.

Holding His hand,
Lauren
