Let Me Walk Upon the Waters

Let Me Walk Upon the Waters

A Poem by Melinda McQueen



Let Me Walk Upon the Waters

 

To seek Your face,

To find Your grace.

To reach for Your hand,

To strongly stand.

 

Let me not sink,

And my faith not blink.

Let me not wander,

Let me walk upon the waters.

 

For though they are high

And at times I feel I can’t survive,

I call out to You

To get me through.

 

I find that when I take my eyes off You,

My spirit sinks beneath the circumstances I go through.

So, help me Father,

Let me walk upon the waters.

 

When trying in my own might,

I lose the fight.

The waters of life become so high

That I struggle in fright.

 

Let me remember to look up and find Your grace,

Calling on Your Name in all I face.

I put my trust in You, the One who never falters,

Let me walk upon the waters.

Wonderful journey to amazing ending.
"Let me remember to look up and find Your grace,
Calling on Your Name in all I face.
I put my trust in You, the One who never falters,
Let me walk upon the waters."
Most of us find God at our worst times. Thank you Melinda for sharing your amazing poetry.

Wonderful and so true. We may try with all of our might, but without Him, we often lose the fight. Valentine
