Song Meaning

Bri Babineaux sings her cover of “Oceans (Where My Feet May Fail),” the Hillsong United song by Matt Crocker, Salomon Lighthelm and Joel Houston. The opening verse describes a call to danger: “You call me out upon the waters, the great unknown where feet may fail.” The singer is not given a map, only a promise that she will find him “in the mystery, in oceans deep.”

The chorus is a vow to keep looking up: “I will call upon Your name and keep my eyes above the waves, when oceans rise, my soul will rest in Your embrace, for I am Yours and You are mine.” The second verse says, “Your grace abounds in deepest waters,” and “You've never failed and You won't start now.” The bridge asks the Spirit to lead “where my trust is without borders” and to “take me deeper than my feet could ever wander,” so that “my faith will be made stronger in the presence of my Savior.”

Stepping onto the water follows Matthew 14:29. God's presence in deep waters is Isaiah 43:2, and the line “I am Yours and You are mine” echoes Song of Solomon 6:3.

Lyrics Verified by Editorial Team

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

For I am Yours and You are mine oh ooh oooh


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

For 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


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


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
