  • You look around
    And it's staring back at you
    Another wave of doubt
    Will it pull you under
    You wonder
    What if I'm overtaken?
    What if I never make it?
    What if no one's there?
    Will He hear my prayer?

    When you take that first step
    Into the unknown
    You know that He won't let you go

    So what are you waiting for?
    What do you have to lose?
    Your insecurities, they try to alter you
    You know you're made for more
    So don't be afraid to move
    Your faith is all it takes
    And you can walk on the water too

    So get out
    And let your fear fall to the ground
    No time to waste, don't wait
    And don't you turn around and miss out
    Everything you were made for
    I know you're not sure
    So you play it safe
    You try to run away

    If you take that first step
    Into the unknown
    He won't let you go

    So what are you waiting for?
    What do you have to lose?
    Your insecurities, they try to alter you
    You know you're made for more
    So don't be afraid to move
    Your faith is all it takes
    And you can walk on the water too

    (Step out) Even when it's stormin'
    (Step out) Even when you're broken
    (Step out) Even when your heart is telling you
    Telling you to give up
    (Step out) When your hope is stolen
    (Step out) You can't see where you're going
    You don't have to be afraid
    So what are you waiting, what are you waiting for?

    So what are you waiting for?
    What do you have to lose?
    Your insecurities, they try to alter you
    You know you're made for more
    So don't be afraid to move
    Your faith is all
    It takes in you
    You can walk on the water
    Walk on the water too Writer/s: Brittany Waddell, Dan Muckala, Joshua Crosby
