Lyric/poem inspired by “Leap of Faith” by Sue Riley (words by Sue Riley and Leddy Hammock):
Long before the morning, not yet light enough to see, darkest before the dawning, Your love can still find me.
When the wind’s against my vessel and the seas are tempest-tossed, I see You walking on the water. I hear You calling me across to make a leap of faith.
Well, You know that I have been wandering—uncertain choices I’ve made and that always gets me to wondering. You tell me, “Don’t be afraid!”
I’ll find the faith to believe, when the winds are too strong, that You hold onto me, when I can’t hold on.
When the deep is dark beneath me and the waves leap high and rough You stretch out Your hand to reach me, when my faith’s not enough.
I know I can change my thinking and turn my life around, for, when I felt like I was sinking, I heard, “Why did you look down? Take a leap of faith!”
