Walking Through the Tide

[4saken]

Walking Through the Tide

The Lord has set a path for me to walk on,
The distance seemingly so great and so wide.
How I am afraid that I may be on my own,
As I walk on with my eyes closed through the tide.

But how can I protect myself? If I don’t open my eyes,
I will surely stumble upon a rock and will surely fall.
How can I ever come to know You?
When I can’t put my trust into Your hands.

This road is so long and I get tired so easily,
I have to learn to slow down; I have to learn to listen.
Because I can’t ever hear Your words if I keep racing on,
I can’t feel You with me if I keep moving ever on.

Surely darkness will come upon me soon and I will be afraid,
Because I’ve been dodging Your footsteps and I kept on running.
The stars will be too high for me to reach and I will be without comfort,
I have to stop going on this path soon, I have to trust in You.

I longed to rest my weary feet and soul,
I longed to drink Your words and be forever with You,
With You I know where my path ends, and I know that I am loved.
I will walk through the tide with my eyes opened and my head held up high,
I do not lack anything anymore, because I have You.
