The song "Oceans"

The song "Oceans"
I was in the Philippines and visiting the island of Corregidor , a substantial battle ground during WWII. A group of us decided we needed a 3 day weekend with fishing and drinking. After a night of going out with the local fishermen in their tiny bonka boats dropping "miles" of net in the middle of Manila Bay, drinking, and getting up early to trade cigarettes and whiskey for fish (we didn't have any luck the night before), we headed to the island.
Not admitting that I was 3 sheets to the wind when we reached the rocky landing I, in my inebriated state of intelligence, saw a rock that I was sure I could step on and then step over. Except the rock was 6' under water, maybe a bit more. With little help of my friends I was able to make it to a more stable and dry ground.

The words from "Oceans" lay out at the beginning "You call me out upon the waters, The great unknown where feet may fail, And there I find You in the mystery, In oceans deep, My faith will stand"
Not knowing where my feet will fall can be frightening, even with senior citizen shoes. Even thinking you are placing your steps on a solid place could be a mistake.

I remember when I was under water looking up seeing my hat floating above me with my arms outstretched with my "water" bottle in one hand and camera in another thinking this was not a good place to be. It looked like down was the only option.

We hear that God gives us no more than we can handle. For the record that is not theologically correct nor biblical.
What I know is if you do step out and find that the stone is far below, He will reach down and bring you up with eyes above the waves.
I will call upon Your name
Keep my eyes above the waves
My soul will rest in Your embrace
I am Yours and You are mine...
