Stop, tell me your name
What are the reasons
For the sorrow on your face?
What broke your heart?
What stole your faith?
You may not believe it
But it won't always feel this way
Life's a boat that won't stop rocking
Don't be scared when you don't feel safe
Listen close, He's calling your name
Saying walk on the waves
Walk on the waves
You've gotta fight the tide
It's do or die today
Open your eyes
Lift up your face
He's got your hands
Your heart, your life
So don't be afraid
To walk on the waves
We, we carry the weight
The weight of our failures
That keep us all enslaved
But what kind of life
Is a life lived in chains
There is a Savior
Who has torn them all away
Saying walk on the waves
Walk on the waves
You've gotta fight the tide
It's do or die today
Open your eyes
Lift up your face
He's got your hands
Your heart, your life
So don't be afraid
To walk on the waves
To walk on the waves
I will choose to follow
There is no other way
So lead me to the water
Give me faith
To walk on the waves
Walk on the waves
You've gotta fight
It's do or die today
Open your eyes
Lift up your face
He's got your hands
Your heart, your life
So don't be afraid
To walk on the waves
Walk on the waves
Life's a boat that won't stop rocking
Don't be scared when you don't feel safe
Listen close, He's calling your name
