Come, walk on the water with me

Kapiti Island

Come, walk on the water with me!
I’m in the mood for impossible things!
Take out your heart of courage,
A lamp amid your fears
And walk on the water with me.

Let’s touch everything we see
And change it to hope
Our hearts let’s change to flesh
No more stones of apathy for us.

Let’s look at everything that could be
Believing it will be
If we dare to walk on water
Scared and hopeful.

Come, walk on the water with me!
Let’s wrap our fears in hope.
Across these waters we must go
Our lamps of courage high
Scared and hopeful we will go.

At the beginning of this water journey
We’ll be careful
But not too careful.
Being too careful is for the very scared.
The Kingdom of Heaven is not found
In being overly cautious
But in taking chances.

Come, walk on the water with me!
Hold high your lamp of courage
Put all your doubts away
Let’s take a chance on staying up.

Come, walk on the water with me!
I’m in the mood for impossible things.
I feel scared
Because it’s impossible
I feel hopeful
Because it’s not impossible
So, scared and hopeful
We will walk.
Come!
Walk on the water with me!
