[Intro]

[Verse 1]
Fourth watch of the night and the wind was screaming
Waves like hammers beating on the hull
Fear in the boat, twelve men white-knuckled
Then a shadow came striding on the swell
We cried out "It's a ghost!" and our blood ran cold
But a voice split the storm — "Take heart, don't be afraid"
So I hollered right back with my heart still pounding
"Lord, if it's You, then call me through the waves"

[Chorus]
He said "Come" — and I stared down my terror
He said "Come" — and the sea held like stone
I walked on the sea with my eyes on the Master
Fear don't get the last word when He calls you from your own
I walked on the sea

[Verse 2]
Every step a wonder underneath me
Water like a road beneath my feet
Then I heard the gale and the fear came clawing
Turned my eyes from Him to the raging deep
'Cause the moment I measured that wind against me
Fear turned the stone back into the sea
Faith to dread in a single heartbeat
Going under screaming "Lord, save me!"

[Bridge]
Sinking... swallowed by everything I feared...
And He didn't wait, didn't let me slip away
His hand closed around my wrist
"Little faith... why did you doubt?"
No shame in His eyes — just the grip that pulled me out

[Final Chorus]
He said "Come" — and I stared down my terror
He said "Come" — yeah, and then I went down
I walked on the sea and the fear sank me under
But He caught my hand before the deep could pull me down
And when we climbed in the boat the wind fell silent
We hit our knees on the deck and cried aloud
"Truly You're the Son of God Almighty"
Fear put me under but He don't leave His own to drown
I walked on the sea

[Outro]
I walked on the sea
Fear came after me
But He came after me
I walked on the sea
