Sweet, Calming Voice at a Distance

You lead me by the still waters

I've found I need those still waters

You walk me through the raging sea

But with You I'm not afraid of that raging sea

You tell me to look ahead, not to look back

Oh, how I wish I would have listened

Because now, I'm stuck. Wisdom; I lack

Fear filling my mind with endless possibilities of how this could terribly end

I'm standing in the middle of this wretched sea, on the only piece of dry land

Waves racing steadily toward me

Deathly splashes of blue is all my eyes can seem to see

Just as my heart feels as if it will burst through my chest

It stops.

I hear Your sweet, calming voice at a distance

Suddenly my fear stricken heart finds rest

The voice fades, the seas rage

Yet still my heart is at peace

Your still, small voice spoke one simple, yet moving phrase

And it was enough to put my mind at ease

You said,

"Follow me"

The path on this dry land, surrounded by masses of water, is narrow

But that voice, those two words, the way it hit my ears first, then pierced my heart second

That's what my body clings to

God, I only want You

Help me, lead me, guide me through

I just don't know what I'm supposed to do

But You remind me,

You said,

"Follow me"
