Lyrics:

 Into the Waters
Tune: HERZLIEBSTER JESU (“Ah Holy Jesus”)
Text: Anna Strickland, 2024
Music: Johann Crüger (1640) 

Into the waters, timid and unsteady 
Bare feet find purchase in the water’s eddies 
Eyes fixed on Jesus while the storm is raging 
And waves are breaking 

But then the winds shift and I let my gaze break 
Fear starts to drag me underneath the lake’s waves 
In my distress I cry out to my Savior, 
“Save me from danger!” 

Safe in the boat I wonder where the fault lies 
Was it the storm or my own reckless desire 
To have control or prove myself as able 
Rather than faithful 

Grace for the journey, grace for all my failings 
Grace when I’m sinking, grace when storms assail me 
Faith in myself and faith in God’s provision 
Not my ambition
