Ask him to make you brave today, friends. He is the one who enables us to step out in faith, to follow His lead, and to see the joy in the difficult days. No fear can hinder now the love that made a way You call me out beyond the shore into the waves So I will let You draw me out beyond the shore I have heard the song of love that You sing The following lyrics of the song are, perhaps, my favorite: By his own strength, Peter would have drowned, but he stayed afloat and above the waves so long as he kept his eyes on Jesus. “You Make Me Brave” by Bethel Music recalls the scripture where Jesus is walking on water and calls Peter out to join Him.
