Stepping out in faith

(Verse 1)

The wind was howling, the waves were high

Three in the morning, a stormy sky

We were fighting the oars, scared for our lives

Then we saw a figure, passing by

The disciples screamed, "It’s a ghost in the dark!"

But a voice calmed the chaos in my heart

He said, "Take courage, it is I, do not fear"

And all of a sudden, the way was clear

(Chorus)

If I want to walk on the water

I’ve got to get out of the boat

If I want to walk with the Master

I have to trust that I will float

Not on my strength, or the way that I feel

But on the promise that makes it real

So I’m stepping out, on a whisper and a word

Leaving the safety of the boat I heard

(Verse 2)

I looked at Him standing on the white-capped sea

I said, "Lord, if it’s You, bid me come to Thee"

He smiled through the gale and said only, "Come"

And I knew my journey had just begun

I looked at the water, then back at the crew

And I threw my leg over, doing what I never knew

I could do—my foot touched the sea

And I was walking on water, looking at He

(Chorus)

If I want to walk on the water

I’ve got to get out of the boat

If I want to walk with the Master

I have to trust that I will float

Not on my strength, or the way that I feel

But on the promise that makes it real

So I’m stepping out, on a whisper and a word

Leaving the safety of the boat I heard

(Bridge)

But the wind began to howl, and I saw the waves crash

I turned my eyes away in a fearful flash

And I began to sink, I began to cry

"Lord, save me!" under the stormy sky

And immediately, a hand reached down

Holding me up so I wouldn't drown

He said, "Oh, you of little faith, why did you doubt?

I am the one you can’t live without"

(Guitar Solo - Slow, then building)

(Chorus)

If I want to walk on the water

I’ve got to get out of the boat

If I want to walk with the Master

I have to trust that I will float

Not on my strength, or the way that I feel

But on the promise that makes it real

So I’m stepping out, on a whisper and a word

Leaving the safety of the boat I heard

(Outro)

Yeah, I’m stepping out...

Walking on the sea...

With my eyes on Thee...

(Fade out)

Truly the Son of God
