Poem Title:
Poem
“Oceans (Where Feet May Fail)" is a song by Australian worship group Hillsong United. It was released on 23 August 2013 as the second and final single from their third studio album, Zion (2013). The song is led by Taya Smith, and was written by Matt Crocker, Joel Houston and Salomon Ligthelm, with production being handled by Michael Guy Chislett. Wikipedia reference DEEP WATERS Trilling of a songbird, in touch with God almighty, Taya begins: “You call me out upon the waters. The great unknown where feet may fail.” I’ve indulged those deep waters I jumped in — The tour guide said, “No need for a lifejacket.” But I knew, as soon as my body Hit the ancient waves, I Needed God. He is my strength. His Spirit lifted me up the ladder. I applied my orange stronghold. “And keep my eyes above the waves,” I feel my savior as Hillsong performs. I am in the ocean. I am afraid. But she sings,”My faith will stand.” “Spirit lead me where my trust is without borders. Let me walk upon the waters.” She sings the bible’s anthem. I’m not afraid. I close my eyes. I hear God call — I can walk upon the waters. She presses me, “Take me deeper… And my faith will be made stronger.” I’ve scanned the seas on the deck of a ship Salty air and evening winds — Wondered what’s below. He is! He’s everywhere! When my son was on a submarine, I was not afraid. I knew whose eyes would see him, No matter what trouble he was in. My feet may fail. The roaring beast may froth and foam, But in the arms of Jesus Christ, My faith is strong. 8/14/2020 Same Old Song Poetry Contest Sponsor: Beth Evans
