During the fourth watch of the night,
Jesus went out to them, walking on the lake.
When the disciples saw him walking on the lake,
they were terrified. 'It is a ghost,' they said,
and cried out in fear. But Jesus said to them,
'Take courage. It is I, don't be afraid,'
don't be afraid, don't be afraid...
Open up my eyes, I pray
Lord, for just a little glimpse of you
That's all I need, it's all I've ever needed
To see beyond myself, beyond this tiny, little world
All your hands have made
With beauty and strength alone
I can see you comin' to me now
Oh, like a shimmerin' light
Shimmerin' light on an open sea
Barefoot on the water
Laughin' at the ocean
Like you were old friends
Callin' out my name
Saying join me now
Strollin' on the water
High over every care
Strollin' on the water
Sinking no longer
Let me rise above the high tide
I can do it, I'll do it, yeah
I know where my strength comes from
Do do do do do do, do do do
do do do, do do do do do do
Help me cut these bonds
where I keep my spirit tied
All safe and dry
Safe and dry, but so afraid
Let me come to you
Let me run to you
With my heart still beating
Beating in my throat
With my sweaty palms and mouth so dry
Shakin' 'til I can't stand still
All I'm askin'
All I'm askin' is to let me cross
That great divide between you and I
Only you can take me there
So take me there, yeah!
Strollin' on the water
High over every care
Strollin' on the water
Sinking no longer
Let me rise above the high tide
I can do it, I'll do it, yeah
I know that you said, 'follow me'
Just let the water flow
Let it go
Oh keep your eyes on me
Do you feel alive?
Try turnin' circles, yeah
Bend your knees
And hold your hands up high
Can you feel the wind in your hair?
With your eyes closed
Take a breath of fresh air
Feel the mist on your toes
Look where we are!
Strollin' on the water
High over every care
Strollin' on the water
Sinking no longer
Strollin' on the water
High over every care
Strollin' on the water
Sinking no longer
Let me rise above the high tide
I can do it, I'll do it, yeah
I know where my strength comes from
Strollin' on the water
High over every care
(I know where my strength comes from)
Strollin' on the water
Sinking no longer
Strollin' on the water
High over every care
(I know where my strength comes from)
Strollin' on the water
Sinking no longer
Strollin' on the water
High over every care
Strollin' on the water
Sinking no longer
