To Walk on Solid Water – v2

The water the same
the challenge just as real;
Winds still blowing
over the face of the deep.

The earth so like the void, chaos,
changed by the hand of God, His breath;
His voice still calling to us,
“Come, follow me”.

To walk on solid water
given substance by our faith;
Believing it will hold us
by trusting in our God.

Following Christ’s calling,
the words of the indwelling Spirit;
Walking humbly ever
sharing this message of God.

We Can Walk on Water – v2

Like Peter, you and I
we can walk on water
trusting in Christ
our eyes ever on Him;
Ignoring the winds all around
reaching ever for Him
going where He calls us.
Like Peter, you and I
longing to walk. to journey,
in the footsteps of Christ
in the way of the disciples;
Needing to climb over the gunnels
to live by our faith
to stand on solid water.
