Story behind the song
During a talk I heard, Edwina Gateley said, "I think the story of Jesus walking on the water must be understated in the Gospel. In my imagination, Jesus, and later, Peter are having such a great time, there's no way they would just be walking. They would have to be dancing!" David Smith did a great job producing it even better than I heard it in my head!
Lyrics
Dancin’ on the Water Nick Cardilino Jeff Bloomfield 1. I’ve been all around the Galilee on anything that would float But nothing could have ever prepared me for that night out on the boat The winds kicked up, the storm blew in, fear was about to seize us We looked once, we looked again, and coming towards us was Jesus. He was... Chorus: Dancin’, (Dancin’) Dancin’ on the water Groovin’, (Groovin’) Groovin’ on faith He said, “Take my hand And you’ll be able to stand. You’ll be dancin’ on the water, groovin’ on faith” 2. Peter was always the first to speak. “Lord, is that really you?” Jesus said, “Peter, who else but me could do the things I do? Come on out, come see for yourself.” So, Peter stepped out on the waves. Sinking with doubt, he yelled for help, and once again Peter was saved. They were... Chorus Bridge: So when the waves get rough and you’re starting to drown, And you can’t seem to find dry land Hold your breath, say a little prayer, And just reach out your hand. And you’ll be... Chorus
