All my life I longed to be a hero
My sword raised high, running to the battle
I was gonna take giants down
Be a man you would write about
Deep in my chest is the heart of a warrior
My sword raised high, running to the battle
I was gonna take giants down
Be a man you would write about
Deep in my chest is the heart of a warrior
So why am I still standing here?
Why am I still holding back from You?
I hear You call me out into deeper waters
But I settle on the shallow end
So why am I still standing here?
Why am I still holding back from You?
I hear You call me out into deeper waters
But I settle on the shallow end
So why am I still standing here?
So afraid what it might cost to follow You
I'd walk by faith if I could get these feet to move
But I don't want to live that way
I don't want to look back someday
On a life that never stepped across the line
I'd walk by faith if I could get these feet to move
But I don't want to live that way
I don't want to look back someday
On a life that never stepped across the line
So why am I still standing here?
Why am I still holding back from You?
You've given me a faith that can move a mountain
But I'm still playing in the sand
Building little kingdoms that'll never stand
I hear You call me out into deeper waters
But I settle on the shallow end
Why am I still holding back from You?
You've given me a faith that can move a mountain
But I'm still playing in the sand
Building little kingdoms that'll never stand
I hear You call me out into deeper waters
But I settle on the shallow end
I'm so tired of standing here
What if I gave everything to You?
What if I gave everything to You?
What if I gave everything?
What if I stopped holding back from You?
Starting now, I'm stepping out onto deeper waters
What if I gave everything?
What if I stopped holding back from You?
Starting now, I'm stepping out onto deeper waters
I want to see some mountains move
What if I stopped holding back from You?
Starting now, I'm stepping out onto deeper waters
What if I gave everything?
What if I stopped holding back from You?
Starting now, I'm stepping out onto deeper waters
I want to see some mountains move
Ready to give everything
Say goodbye to standing here

Music speaks to me so it came as no surprise that I was challenged by this song. My life has gone through many changes as of late, some good, some ugly, some surprising that I just need to accept. I have always walked by faith and it is that faith that has held me through this turbulent life. I love God fiercely and I am unashamed of that passion. But when I heard the words
So why am I still standing here?
Why am I still holding back from You?

I knew right then that if I truly wanted everything God had to offer me I had to move. I have dreams, and they are BIG dreams. So big that I find myself burying them rather than cultivating them. I often ask myself why I am so afraid to step out in faith and trust God with my dreams. Isn't He the very one who gave me the ability to dream? When I talk to Him about the things I desire to do I am encouraged, strengthened, and excited to step out.....yet there is a fear that holds me back.
But,
What if I gave everything?
What if I stopped holding back from You?
Starting now, I'm stepping out onto deeper waters
What if I gave everything?
What if I stopped holding back from You?
Starting now, I'm stepping out onto deeper waters
I want to see some mountains move.
YES! I want to see mountains move. I want to see God glorified with the fulfillment of my deepest dreams and desires. He is the one who called me to be His. He is the one who made me who I am. He is the giver of all things and I trust Him with the deepest desires of my heart. I will no longer fear what others think of me, I am His. I will no longer be content to play in the sand
Building little kingdoms that'll never stand
Today I step out in faith
Ready to give everything
Say goodbye to standing here.
Say goodbye to standing here
