Rising to the Challenge
You call me out beyond the shore,
Where charts grow faint, where stars seem few;
A trembling heart, a whispered prayer—
Yet trust becomes my ocean blue.
The tide may swell with roaring fears,
Waves climb like doubts against my chest;
But faith, though small, commands my soul
To walk where only trust finds rest.
Each step upon the shifting deep
Feels weightless under unseen hands;
For where I cannot see the floor,
You give me strength to brave new lands.
Lord, lead me farther still,
Past borders comfort tried to keep;
Sometimes the miracle I crave
Is simply daring faith to leap.
So I will listen to Your call,
Though winds may howl and waters sway;
For trust alone can build a path
Where feet may fail—but hearts obey.

Beautiful “Rising to the Challenge.” Wonderful metaphor with “rising” of sea and faith.
“Yet trust becomes my ocean blue” expresses this all so well.
