Step Out on the Water Blues | A Blues Song Inspired by Faith and Trust

** The Bible is full of moments where God calls His people to step out in faith, even when they can't see what's ahead. This blues song, "Step Out on the Water Blues," is inspired by the idea that faith is about trusting God's hand, not waiting for visible proof of safety. The phrase "Take a leap, and the net will appear" aligns with Jesus' call to Peter to walk on water in Matthew 14:22-33, showing that trust in God-not circumstances-sustains us.

Proverbs 3:5-6 reminds us that leaning on our own understanding isn't the way-true wisdom is in trusting the Lord's path.
Isaiah 43:2 reassures us that even in deep waters, God is with us, keeping us from being overwhelmed.
Matthew 6:33 shifts our focus from earthly concerns to seeking God's kingdom first, knowing He will provide all we need.

This song takes these truths and brings them to life with a soulful blues sound-because sometimes, faith walks best when it's got a little rhythm.

** Original Scriptures in the Song

Matthew 14:29-31 (WEB)
"He said, 'Come!' Peter stepped down from the boat and walked on the waters to come to Jesus. But when he saw that the wind was strong, he was afraid, and beginning to sink, he cried out, saying, 'Lord, save me!' Immediately Jesus stretched out his hand, took hold of him, and said, 'You of little faith, why did you doubt?'"

Proverbs 3:5-6 (WEB)
"Trust in Yahweh with all your heart, and don't lean on your own understanding. In all your ways acknowledge him, and he will make your paths straight."

Isaiah 43:2 (WEB)
"When you pass through the waters, I will be with you; and through the rivers, they will not overflow you. When you walk through the fire, you will not be burned, and flame will not scorch you."

Matthew 6:33 (WEB)
"But seek first God's Kingdom and his righteousness; and all these things will be given to you as well."

** Lyrics – "Step Out on the Water Blues"

(Verse 1)
They say, "Take a leap, and the net will appear,"
But I hear the Lord whisper, "Step out, have no fear."
Like Peter on the water, eyes locked on His face,
It ain't the waves that hold me-it's His mercy and grace.

(Chorus)
Step out on the water, trust the voice you hear,
The Lord is my shelter, no need for fear.
He made the wind, He calms the sea,
If I keep my eyes on Jesus, He'll carry me.

(Verse 2)
Proverbs says, "Trust in the Lord, don't lean on your ways" (Prov. 3:5-6)
He's guiding my steps, through the fire and the haze.
Isaiah tells me, "You'll pass through the flood," (Isa. 43:2)
But the waters won't drown me, I'm redeemed by His blood.

(Chorus)
Step out on the water, trust the voice you hear,
The Lord is my shelter, no need for fear.
He made the wind, He calms the sea,
If I keep my eyes on Jesus, He'll carry me.

(Bridge – Original Scripture Inspired Line)
"The net ain't the safety-it's the hand of the King,"
"A step of faith is where freedom begins."
"Don't wait on the rescue, just walk in the call,"
"The arms of the Savior won't let you fall."

(Verse 3)
Matthew says, "Seek first His kingdom, don't chase after bread" (Matt. 6:33)
If I trust in His promise, I'll always be fed.
Like Abraham walking, not knowing the way,
But the Lord made the journey a blessing each day.

(Outro – Slow and Soulful)
Step out on the water, don't look down below,
The Lord walks before me-where He leads, I go.
