If I Wanna Walk
[Verse 1]
Listen to me, Jesus
Cause I know You'll understand
I've been right back down
With the weight of the world on my mind
I'm trying hard to salvage joy
In spite of circumstance
But I can't quite seem to let faith
Have the wheel this time

[Chorus]
But if I wanna walk on water
Then I've gotta get outta the boat
And if I'm gonna move this mountain
I've gotta start with a little more hope
If I'm gonna take a leap of faith
Then I'd better not expect to fall
Cause I know I've gotta stand
If I wanna walk

[Verse 2]
Listen to the birds sing
Do they ever sound alone?
Well do they spread their wings
And yet question their strength to fly?
I'm trying hard to trust You Lord
But it's safer said than done
So won't You feather my faith
With a love for the open sky?
[Chorus]
But if I wanna walk on water
Then I've gotta get outta the boat
And if I'm gonna move this mountain
I've gotta start with a little more hope
If I'm gonna take a leap of faith
Then I'd better not expect to fall
Cause I know I've gotta stand
If I wanna walk

[Instrumental]

[Bridge]
I'm trying hard to trust You Lord
But it's safer said than done
So won't You feather my faith
With a love for the open sky?

[Chorus]
But if I wanna walk on water
Well then I've gotta get outta the boat
If I'm gonna move this mountain
I've gotta start with a little more hope
If I'm gonna take a leap of faith
Then I'd better not expect to fall
Cause I know I've gotta stand
If I wanna walk
