Let Me Roll on the Waters

Let Me Roll on the Waters

A Poem by Melinda McQueen
"

Though the tide comes, He is near.

"

The sky is high,

The sea is deep.

My dreams are nigh,

For in Thy grace I believe.

 

Though life throws curve balls

And my hope falters,

On Thee I call…

Let me roll on the waters.

 

Though the tide roars

And the waves toss about,

May I believe in Thee all the more.

Thy love ever abounds.

 

The current is strong,

Let me not wander

This raging sea alone…

Let me roll on the waters.

 

Life can be hard and unforgiving

And nothing seems to break my fall.

Then I remember Thy mercy is ever-living,

As the Holy Spirit is one in all.

 

The waters of Thy peace.

The waters of Thy love.

The waters of Thy mercy.

The waters of Thy Holy Son.

 

Calling forth faith

Which comes from the Father,

There is nothing I can’t face…

Let me roll on Thy waters.

Again I get this reading in my head as a song - an uplifting and soul enriching piece of magical lyricism. You words sing off the page like Whoopy Goldberg in Sister Act - dont mean to be flippant - I happen to find those kids of worship full of soul - so I guess Im saying this is full of soul then Melinda.
