Song Lyrics 


YOU CAN'T WALK ON WATER

It’s nice to have possessions;  they make us feel secure,
But I’m not sure if we own things, or are we owned by them;
Big bank accounts and lots of toys won’t help us get to heaven,
So Jesus said to give them all away, and follow Him.
•
(chorus)
You can’t walk on water until you’ve burned your bridges;
Your parachute won’t open till you let go of the plane;
You can’t move a mountain while climbing up its ridges;
And you can’t serve the Master, while you’re tryin’ to play it safe.

It’s easy to walk boldly, when it’s daylight on the pathway;
And we sit high and dry on shore, and don’t fear the hurricane;
We stand and sing His praises, inside our church on Sunday,
And write the Lord a check, if there’s some extra in the bank.
•
(chorus)
You can’t walk on water until you’ve burned your bridges,
Your parachute won’t open till you let go of the plane;
You can’t move a mountain while climbing up its ridges;
And you can’t serve the Master, while you’re tryin’ to play it safe.

It’s confidence in things unseen, and hope of things to come;
Depending on a mighty hand  that holds my life and way;
Just walk as far as you can see, then step into the darkness
Believing God will guide your footsteps each and every day.
•
(chorus)
You can’t walk on water... ‘til you’ve burned all your bridges,
Your parachute won’t open till you jump out of the plane;
You can’t move a mountain... while climbing up its ridges;
And you can’t serve the Master, while you’re tryin’ to play it safe.
