Ten Toes Over The Boat
Spoken Word Intro
Matthew 14:28–29, KJV
“And Peter answered him and said,
Lord, if it be thou,
bid me come unto thee on the water.
And he said, Come.
And when Peter was come down out of the ship,
he walked on the water,
to go to Jesus.”
Intro
Ten toes cold
Hanging over the boat,
Middle of the surge,
Will I float?
Wind in my chest,
Fear in my throat,
Then I hear Your voice
Calling me close.
Verse 1
My mind says stay,
My heart says go.
The waves look wild,
But Your word says home.
Everybody’s crying,
“Don’t move, don’t try,”
But I know that sound
Cutting through the night.
Fear says, “Sink,”
Faith says, “Lord.”
I’ve heard that voice
Call me before.
I don’t need calm,
I don’t need proof.
If You are calling,
I’m coming to You.
Pre-Chorus
Fear is loud,
But You are clear.
One word from You
Breaks through my fear.
I don’t trust the water,
I trust the One
Who said, “Come.”
Chorus
If You say come,
I will come.
If You call me out,
I won’t run.
I know Your voice,
I know Your voice.
Above the storm,
I know Your voice.
Step by step,
I’m not alone.
Hand in Yours,
I’m coming close.
If You say come,
I will come.
I will come,
I will come.
Verse 2
The first step feels
Like leaving ground.
Every doubt says,
“Turn back now.”
But the water holds
Where Your word stands.
The deep obeys
Your holy command.
Then I see the waves,
And I start to sink.
Grace reaches faster
Than fear can think.
You don’t shame me,
You pull me close.
You save the faith
That’s holding hope.
Pre-Chorus 2
When I lose sight,
Your hand is near.
When I fall short,
You’re still right here.
I don’t trust my strength,
I trust the One
Who said, “Come.”
Chorus
If You say come,
I will come.
If You call me out,
I won’t run.
I know Your voice,
I know Your voice.
Above the storm,
I know Your voice.
Step by step,
I’m not alone.
Hand in Yours,
I’m coming close.
If You say come,
I will come.
I will come,
I will come.
Bridge
Your voice over water,
Your hand when I fall.
Your name over thunder,
Your love over all.
Above the chaos,
Above the noise,
I will follow
The sound of Your voice.
Your voice over water,
Your hand when I fall.
Your name over thunder,
Your love over all.
Final Chorus
If You say come,
I will come.
If You call me out,
I won’t run.
I know Your voice,
I know Your voice.
Above the storm,
I know Your voice.
Step by step,
I’m not alone.
Hand in Yours,
I’m coming close.
If You say come,
I will come.
I will come,
I will come.
Outro
Ten toes cold
Hanging over the boat,
Middle of the surge,
Now I know.
I don’t trust the water,
I trust the One
Who said, “Come.”
