Brenton Brown Album: Everlasting God Track: Like The Angels
Like The Angels Lyrics
When I am sinking down, when I am lost at sea No solace to be found, no ground beneath my feet I turn to you as I go down, I reach for you through roaring waves My only hope is in Your arms, my only prayer is that you'd save me Cause you make me soar like the angels You let me walk on the water You let me run with white horses Jesus my strength when all is gone You are my strength when all is gone When I am all alone, no land is in my sight All others lost from view, and comes the darkening night I reach for you as I go down, I look to you through wind and waves My only hope is in Your arms, my only prayer is that you'd save me
Brenton Brown
Song Description: "Written at probably one of my lowest moments with the illness. Jude and I had moved back to South Africa to try and rest. My life felt completely outside of my own control - I was marooned by sickness and sadness and the song came out in one sitting. I always find it amazing that with God one moment we can be sitting in a sinking ship in the middle of a broken sea, and the next moment Jesus comes and we're walking on water! Peter didn't just walk on water one lazy Sunday afternoon while the disciples and Jesus were sitting on the beach eating a fish barbecue. He did what no other human being, apart from Jesus, has ever done. And he did it right after he and his mates were convinced they'd seen a ghost and were going to drown in a vicious storm! Talk about zero to hero. It reminds me of life before and after corporate worship! One moment I'm going down and the next I'm with the angels, near to God." - Brenton Brown
