God's Sea

I stick my toe into God's sea a bit,
I hesitate, for is it really there?
I look and cannot see the end of it,
then feel immersed, I'm in it everywhere.

I must be pushed again to try my toe,
distractions pull me far from every side,
yet sure I am there's nowhere else to go,
I know this flood leaves me no place to hide.

I dip a toe because I fear the sea,
I don't want to leave so much fun behind,
yet His sweet grace does His great work in me,
and I'm compelled to follow One so kind.

I really don't know, God, what else to do,
but to dive in and swim away with You.
