all the feels...

You know those songs that just speak to you?  You can't help but be overcome with emotions when you hear them? There is one that get me every single time.  If I hear it in church - tears.  The car - tears.  A run - tears.  There is just so much meaning behind it and I can't help but relate it to the call of adoption.

Oceans

You call me out upon the waters
The great unknown where feet may fail
And there I find You in the mystery
In oceans deep
My faith will stand

And I will call upon Your name
And keep my eyes above the waves
When oceans rise
My soul will rest in Your embrace
For I am Yours and You are mine

Your grace abounds in deepest waters
Your sovereign hand
Will be my guide
Where feet may fail and fear surrounds me
You've never failed and You won't start now

So I will call upon Your name
And keep my eyes above the waves
When oceans rise
My soul will rest in Your embrace
For I am Yours and You are mine


Spirit lead me where my trust is without borders
Let me walk upon the waters
Wherever You would call me
Take me deeper than my feet could ever wander
And my faith will be made stronger
In the presence of my Savior

(This specifically speaks to me.  I truly believe that God laid International adoption on my heart many many years ago.  If it were my doing I would probably stay in my nice safe normal bubble.  I am so thankful that He is leading us way outside our comfort zones.)

Oh, Jesus, you're my God!

I will call upon Your name
Keep my eyes above the waves
My soul will rest in Your embrace
I am Yours and You are mine
