Oceans (where feet may fail) – Reposted for a Friend

Standard

Perhaps it is that when one feels washed overboard, afraid, exhausted, and without a raft there is something in the depths of grace for us there.  Perhaps the raft is what keeps us from knowing.  Blessings, sweetness, and understanding that you are not alone.

Whatever flavor of spirituality that you may tend toward there is a depth and beauty in this.  All poetry is metaphor anyway.  Hold them lightly or risk their death.  Where there is beauty there is the perfume of truth.  It resonated with my soul from that place in me that is too deep for words.  It allowed me to weep.  That is a good gift for a hardened sometimes stupid man like me. 🙂  Maybe my chakra thingy is better for it.  Blessings on your quest for the One who is beyond all metaphor.

  1. What a beautiful song, and a beautiful rendition of it. One verse in particular touched me:

    Your grace abounds in deepest waters
    Your sovereign hand
    Will be my guide
    Where feet may fail and fear surrounds me
    You’ve never failed and You won’t start now

    Forty four years ago in the middle of the night in a hospital room waiting for surgery the next day I was so scared. I dragged my Bible out, opened it at random, and put my finger down. God gave me Isaiah 41:10.

    Fear not, for I am with you.
    Be not afraid, for I am your God.
    I will strengthen you, I will comfort you.
    I will uphold you with my righteous right hand.

    It reminds me a lot of that verse. I need so desperately to hold on to what this song says. Maybe you and I have that in common? I can understand why it touched you so much.

    Thank you for posting that. I really needed to hear this today… <3
