First, it is the song my wife and I chose for our wedding. I can still recall how overcome I was when she walked into the library where our ceremony was taking place. Every time I hear this song I am humbly reminded of that wonderful day and how deep our relationship has become. I love her dearly, deeply and with all the good I could ever muster in my heart.
Second, it is a call to faith. We can enter the ocean and swim and tread water, but for how long? Keeping my heart and mind focused on my God allows me to not be concerned with my surroundings. When I falter and start to slip beneath the waves, Jesus is there to pull me back up and keep my eyes above the waves. While I was in the Navy I spent many, many days and nights at sea. It is there, in the middle of the ocean on a starlit night that I came to realize how great and magnificent this world is. I was virtually in the middle of nowhere and felt the presence of God. I think that when we get those chances to be in the wilderness, or body of water, away from the hustle and bustle of life, that going deeper into a relationship with Jesus invigorates me, settles me, and allows me to just be an breathe.
Go ahead, take the plunge into the deep.
