A lot of times my thoughts can best be described in a song. Most of you have probably been riding in my car at some point or another and have had to listen to a specific song because of its lyrics. I heard this song on "Biggest Loser" (which I really haven't been watching) last week and could not get it out of my head and its message was buried deep within my heart. It honestly brought me to tears and I have to share it with you. In the midst of Holy Week I am overcome with a mixture of feelings, but most are reflections of my life and the woman that I am...or continually becoming. The story of Jesus walking on water is not one that has ever captured me like it did after listening to this song. Jesus did not wait...He never waited. He acted, He did, He lived. How many times do I just sit and let it pass me by? A lot..too many times in fact. I want to act, to do, to live. I don't want this week to pass me by. I want to sing and shout on Easter morning in celebration of Him and the fact that He is ALVIE! The trek of my purple shoes is certainly up and down the halls of my office this week, but in my heart I am with Him on the road to Golgotha and in the midst of the people who yelled with hatred in their heart..."Crucify Him! Crucify Him!" His promises remind me that He did rise on the 3rd day, He does walk ahead of me, and He knows that these purple shoes can walk on water too.
Britt Nicole's song "Walk on Water"
You look around
It's staring back at you
Another wave of doubt
Will it pull you under
You wonder
What if I'm overtaken
What if I never make it
What if no one's there?
Will you hear my prayer?
When you take that first step
Into the unknown
You know that he won't let you go
Chorus:
So what are you waiting for?
What do you have to lose?
Your insecurities try to alter you
You know you're made for more
So don't be afraid to move
Your faith is all
It takes and you can
Walk on the water too
Verse 2:
So get out
And let
Your fear fall to the ground
No time to waste
Don't wait
Don't you turn around and miss out
Everything you were made for
I know you're not sure
So you play it safe
Try to run away
If you take that first step
Into the unknown
He won't let you go
(chorus)
Bridge:
(step out)
Even when a storm hits
(step out)
Even when you're broken
(step out)
Even when your heart is telling you telling you to give up
(step out)
When your hope is stolen
(step out)
You can't see where you're going
You don't have to be afraid
So what are you waiting,
What are you waiting for?
So what are you waiting for?
What do you have to lose?
Your insecurities try to alter you
You know you're made for more
So don't be afraid to move
Your faith is all
It takes and you can
Walk on the water...
Walk on the water too
You look around
It's staring back at you
Another wave of doubt
Will it pull you under
You wonder
What if I'm overtaken
What if I never make it
What if no one's there?
Will you hear my prayer?
When you take that first step
Into the unknown
You know that he won't let you go
Chorus:
So what are you waiting for?
What do you have to lose?
Your insecurities try to alter you
You know you're made for more
So don't be afraid to move
Your faith is all
It takes and you can
Walk on the water too
Verse 2:
So get out
And let
Your fear fall to the ground
No time to waste
Don't wait
Don't you turn around and miss out
Everything you were made for
I know you're not sure
So you play it safe
Try to run away
If you take that first step
Into the unknown
He won't let you go
(chorus)
Bridge:

Even when a storm hits
(step out)
Even when you're broken
(step out)
Even when your heart is telling you telling you to give up
(step out)
When your hope is stolen
(step out)
You can't see where you're going
You don't have to be afraid
So what are you waiting,
What are you waiting for?
So what are you waiting for?
What do you have to lose?
Your insecurities try to alter you
You know you're made for more
So don't be afraid to move
Your faith is all
It takes and you can
Walk on the water...
Walk on the water too
