My dad showed me this one last week after a guy showed it to him at a men’s retreat. Thanks, Dad! And thanks to Randy for passing it along!

This is my favorite Hillsong UNITED’s best album yet. They have been through a lot in the past few years; read their story in Relevant Mag. Find out more about their movement (it’s not a band) on their lovely responsive site.

This is the long version of the song, but it’s pretty epic. Please take some time to watch it and meditate on the lyrics.

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

And 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
[x6]

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

Challenge 1: Respond in the comments section to at least ONE of these questions:

  1. What do you think it might mean for you specifically to “walk upon the waters” wherever He would call you?(Hint: It doesn’t necessarily mean hitting the road and leaving behind the responsibilities and relationships He’s placed before you.)
  2. What would it take for you to have “trust that’s without borders?”
  3. Imagine what it might look like to go “Deeper than your feet could ever wander.” What are some hopes and dreams you have to make an eternal impact on the world? What are some hopes and dreams you have for going deeper than ever before in your relationship with God?


Challenge 2:
Set some time aside to bring all of your pieces before Him and pray these lyrics sincerely.

Challenge 3: Wait expectantly for Him. Wait expectantly for Him to put the pieces together, giving you opportunities to step even further into the ocean of His glorious and perfect will.
