OCEANS (Where Feet May Fail)
by Hillsong United
WHY DID I CHOOSE THIS SONG?
First of all, it is because this is the song that God used to speak to me and touched my heart.
June 2014, it was the second Sunday that I attended church, I instantly dedicated this song to God the first time I heard it. My eyes shed in tears while the band in our church was playing this piece. I could not explain how I felt that time but all I knew was there's peace in my heart and happiness that only God can understand. I hope everyone will also have a personal encounter with the Lord so you'll also experience this joy and gladness I felt. After all of the sins I did commit against Him, here He is:
embracing me with open arms;
wiping my tears away;
singing with me; and,
loving me with no conditions.Second of all, I wanted to share with everyone how great our God is. I wanted to share the message of the song and I need you to understand it by heart. Listen to it. It is so comforting. Feel it. Feel the presence of God's love for us through Jesus Christ.
He gave me the confidence to love again despite of all those ordeal I faced in the past. I can face my life now with joy and happiness no matter what the future brings me. I am just happy, I live with Him now.
I exist.
"We know and rely on the love God has for us. God is love. Whoever lives in love lives in God, and God in him. In this way, love is made complete among us so that we will have confidence on the day of judgment, because in this world we are like him."
1 JOHN 4:16-17*
Here is the youtube link for my entry:
"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
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"
Songwriters: Joel Houston / Matt Crocker / Salomon Lighthelm
