Do you not fear Me, says the Lord on high,
Do you not tremble when I’m standing by?
Your hearts grow careless, eyes refuse to see,
Yet I alone still hold and stop the sea.
I drew a line of sand where the dark waves roll,
A line no storm and no one can control,
A quiet, fragile edge by the water’s roar,
Yet the sea obeys, it can come no more.
(Chorus)
Be amazed where waters stop,
Right at the line they cannot cross,
No human mind could understand,
How waves fall still at His command.
The waves may toss with all of their might,
They crash on the shore and roar in the night.
But they stop right there where I’ve drawn the line,
For the seas obey the will of the Divine.
They roar like thunder on the shore,
They pound the sand but go no more,
My spoken word sets where they stay,
And keeps the rising tides at bay.
(Chorus)
Be amazed where waters stop,
Right at the line they cannot cross,
No human mind could understand,
How waves fall still at His command.
If seas are still when they hear My voice,
Why do hearts still doubt that choice?
The shore obeys every word I give,
Learn from its trust in the way you live.
(Bridge)
When oceans rise in towering rage,
And storms tear loose their fury unchained,
Tsunamis roar, cyclones spin,
Who can stand when You step in?
The heavens shake, the waters quake,
At just one word the depths awake,
If winds and waves fall down in fear,
How dare my heart not tremble here?
(Chorus)
Be amazed where waters stop,
Right at the line they cannot cross,
No human mind could understand,
How waves fall still at His command.
Stand in awe, just look and see,
Held in place by power unseen,
We don’t know how, but still it’s true,
The waves stop—because He tells them to.
(Spoken verse godlike voice)
“‘Do you not fear me?’ declares Jehovah. ‘Should you not tremble before me? It is I who placed the sand as the boundary for the sea, a permanent regulation that it cannot pass over. Although its waves toss, they cannot prevail; although they roar, they still cannot pass beyond it. Jeremiah 5:22"
