Andrew Peterson - If I Wanna Walk lyrics

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

Listen to the birds sing

Do they ever sound alone?

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
