this song is tops

and has been on repeat for the past two days.

the words just pierce my heart and remind me of the times God has
         called me to step out into the deep...
           called me to "arise, go" despite the unknown...
             challenged me beyond myself or my comfort...
                called me to trust Him...
              
...and man, even in taking that one step forward, He has shown up in the most incredible ways.
and has floored me with His grace.
                                   and provision.
                                   and strength.
                                   and goodness.

like coming back to the states after four years of teaching in Asia.
starting graduate school.
being provided with "necessities" (car, apartment and furnishings, job) all within the same week.
and I realize that things didn't have to work out that way.
but they did.
and I give Him the glory.

all because He is awesome.
and He loves me.
and He has a plan for my life that is so much bigger than I could ever understand.
and He is faithful. so faithful.
      
it make me hunger for more adventures with Him:

"Spirit lead me where my trust is without borders
 Let me walk upon the waters, wherever You would call me
Take me deeper than my feet could ever wander..."

So good.
God is so good, isn't He?

give it a listen and read the lyrics posted below the video.



"Oceans (Where Feet May Fail)"

You call me out upon the waters
The great unknown where feet may fail
And there I find You in the mystery
In oceans deep
My faith will stand

And I will call upon Your name
And keep my eyes above the waves
When oceans rise
My soul will rest in Your embrace
I am Yours and You are mine

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

So I will call upon Your name
And keep my eyes above the waves
When oceans rise
My soul will rest in Your embrace
I am Yours and You are mine

Spirit lead me where my trust is without borders
Let me walk upon the waters
Wherever You would call me
Take me deeper than my feet could ever wander
And my faith will be made stronger
In the presence of my Savior

I will call upon Your Name
Keep my eyes above the waves
My soul will rest in Your embrace
I am Yours and You are mine
