REGGAE FOR CHRIST

Lyrics

PART THE WATERS
(Words & Music by Tennyson Walters)  
 
Sometimes I get discouraged
Weighted down by all the luggage
This world places on me
The mountains seem so high
The valleys seem so low
If only I could fly
 
Go beneath the undertow
Find a place where I can rest
Relinquish all the stress
A place of solitude
Where troubles can’t intrude
 
Then I remember, I remember it was
You, it was you who, who
 
Part the waters, roll back the sea
Drove the enemy to their defeat
Part the waters, set the captives free
Spawned a miracle won the victory
And I know my God, You can do
Do the same for me
Same for me, same for me
 
If only in my mind
That place I must find
To escape the realities
Life’s haunts and complexities
For amidst all the hustle
On wings I will shuttle
Yes, prayer will take me there
The word to that sphere
Over on the other side
Where peace and joy abide
Where fear is no more
And tranquility an open door
 
Then I remember, I remember, it was
you, it was you who, who
 
Part the waters, roll back the sea
Drove the enemy to their defeat
Part the waters, set the captives free
Spawned a miracle won the victory
And I know my God, you can do
Do the same for me
Same for me, same for me
 
If I keep my mind stayed on you
You will keep me in perfect peace
So dear Jesus help me to pray and
never to cease
To be still and know you’re my God,
you’re my retreat
And store your Word in my heart
And keep it replete
