My Feet May Fail

So, I was in church this past Sunday when the worship band began to play this song, "Oceans" by Hillsong United. I'd heard it before, but on that day, they had the most amazing woman singing it (seriously, I wish I had a recording of it), and it was one of those moments when a song resonates so deeply and seems to take over your whole body, you know what I mean? No? Just me? Mkay... anyway, as I stood there taking it in, a wave of tears filled my eyes as I thought about how I wished this song would have been around when we were going through our infertility struggles. This song has been in my head non-stop since Sunday, and today, as I was listening to it again for the 5 millionth time while taking my kids to school, tears flooded my eyes again as I thought of Holly at Oh Baby, Baby. If you haven't read her story, grab some tissues and be prepared to have your heart broken.
With sooooo many couples struggling with infertility, I just thought I'd share the amazing lyrics of this song in hopes that it might bring just a little comfort to you, I know it does for me.

    

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

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

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

 

Ah-maze-ing, right?! In other news, we go in for Max's pre-op appointment tomorrow and will find out how exactly they are going to fix his eyes. While it breaks my heart to see my baby go through so many different medical issues, I am so very, very thankful that they are all relatively minor issues that, so far, are all correctable. I hope you all hug your babies a little tighter tonight and Praise the Lord for the amazing gift(s) he has bestowed upon you.
