Oh, what I would do to have the kind of faith it takes
To climb out of this boat I`m in onto the crashing waves
To step out of my comfort zone into the realm of the unknown
Where Jesus is, and he`s holding out his hand
But the waves are calling out my name and they laugh at me
Reminding me of all the times I`ve tried before and failed
The waves they keep on telling me time and time again
"Boy, you`ll never win, you`ll never win, you`ll never win."
Oh, what I would do to have the kind of strength it takes
To stand before a giant with just a sling and stone
Surrounded by the sound of a thousand warriors shaking in their armour
Wishing they`d have had the strength to stand
But the giant`s calling out myname and he laughs at me
Reminding me of all the times I`ve tried before and failed
The giant keeps on telling me time and time again
"Boy you`ll never win, you`ll never win, you`ll never win."
But the stone was just the right size to take the giant down
And the waves don`t seem so high when I`m standing on top of them looking down
And I`d soar with the wings of eagles if I could just ignore the sound
Of the waves and the giants, the waves and the giants in my mind
Lord, you`ve not given me a spirit of fear
But of power and of love, and of a sound mind
So from now on, I won`t let the tempter`s lies turn my eyes away from the prize
That you have set before me.
That you have set before me.
