You called me out into the ocean,
And I followed you out of devotion.
Never knowing you were testing my faith,
Still you told me it's never too late.
You sent your angels to be my guide.
I looked them in the eyes and lied.
I told them I was strong on my own,
But I was lying from the flesh to the bone.
I didn't take the hand of my Savior.
Still you forgave me for my behavior.
You took me deeper than my feet could ever wander.
Now I know that was to make me stronger.
With you I can walk upon the waters.
Your love for me knew no borders.
I know you will forgive me before I can say I'm sorry.
Now it's my time to keep my promise, so don't you worry.
When I couldn't walk, you picked me up,
So tired I couldn't even talk.
But you gave me your strength and your will.
Now watch me make you proud forever and still.
Watch me conquer the great unknown without any fear?
What's there to fear when you are here?
For now, this is all I can say:
Thank you and have a happy birthday.
