I want to step out of the boat…but the truth be known…I am really kinda scared…
I am afraid of what will happen…if my steps were uncertain…forgetting you’ll pick me up…
So many times we think…Jesus is mad at us…when he gently guides us…
My life puts a smile on Jesus’ face…when I fall down…he lifts us to our feet…

Saddened by our choices…but willing to get back on track…he will hold my hand…
Calling us to step out on the water…amidst the stormy seas…I don’t want to stay in my boat any longer…
Knowing you will help me…if I fall down on my face…You will help me back up…
I know that by me living for you…I put a smile on my Saviors face…

As you watch your children…some just learning to walk…others at different stages…
Help me remember that I put a smile on your face…when I fall down you help me up…
I am stepping out…into the unseen reality of faith…knowing you will guide me…
Help me when I am sinking…For I know you will be there to rescue me…in my time of need…
