This is how to walk on water Lyrics

This is how to walk on water

First, See someone doing it

Arrange your sight and align your mind

Say to yourself, if it can be done, then I can do it

Nothing under the face of the earth is new

Next, abolish fear

It will come with gnarling teeth, demanding your attention

I need you to ignore it

Come out of the boat, insult your doubts and stand

As you stand, you will feel your knees buckle as this is unfamiliar ground

Embrace the wind that is threatening to knock your head off

Assert your dominance in this new place

Speak to this place

Say to yourself

I deserve to be here

I stand on the authority of the one in whose footsteps I follow

I take charge of this space, this place

This will not drown me

This will not overtake me

This will not envelope me

The boat might be comfortable but you were made for more

Stand your ground, it will shake and make to break you

But remind this pedestal that it is your red carpet

Lift up your head and stand

Then and only then, take a step

This is the part when fear hooks your throat

And everything around you gathers in resistance

Remember you are not alone

You are held. You are helped. You are graced for this

And when you falter, remember

Peter may have drowned

But he's the only other man who walked on water
