Let the waters rise



The Lord is with me, even until the ends of the world. I often forget this when I am going through struggles. When my world is crashing in, and I should be leaning on God, it seems like that's the time when I struggle to remember that he is the one holding me just high enough above the water so I can still breathe. Every time I go through struggles and hard times, I may not realize it when I am in the moment, but once I am out of the storm and I look back on it, I can see how even though it might have been difficult, God used it to teach me something and mature me. The Devil is constantly on all sides of me, like a raging sea trying to pull me in and make me fall, pressuring me in every situation. Will I listen to him? Sometimes the devils way seems better, easier, maybe not even that bad. But in the end, if I fall for him, I always realize what a horrible mistake I made. Every time Satan tempts me I must rebuke him and know that even if it seems harder, Gods way is ultimately the only way. Let the waters Rise if you want them to Lord, still I will follow you.


Let the Waters Rise

-Mikeschair-


Don't know where to begin
It's Like my worlds caving in
And I try but I can't control my fear
where do I go from here

Sometimes it's so hard to pray
when you feel so far away
But I am willing to go where you want me to
God I trust you


There's a raging sea right in front of me
wants to pull me in bring me to my knees
so let the waters rise if you want them to
I will follow you, I will follow you
I will follow you

I will swim in the deep
cuz you'll e next to me
You're in the eye of the storm
And the calm of the sea
you're never out of reach

God you know where I've been
you were there with me then
You were faithful before
you'll be faithful again
I'm holding you're hand

God your love is enough
You will pull me through
I'm holding onto you
God your love is enough
I will follow you

  1. Beka,
    I love the lyrics to that song, they're amazing! What you say is so true. It's so easy to be so concerned with our own troubles that we don't see God at work when He sooo is.
    Love and miss you roommate!
