Well my take on this is totally different than any I've read so far, and I think it's only natural and right that it is. We all have different experiences in our our lives and only from our personal experiences can we form our thoughts, beliefs and feelings. I didn't think about God at all when I heard this. I immediately thought of my husband who died in my arms. It was a very unexpected, sudden death. I adored this man. After he died, I was so grief stricken and depressed that I felt like I was in the middle of the ocean without a boat or life ring. I couldn't deal with his death let alone continue living my life as it had now become. Dealing with one thing after another, was more than I could cope with anymore. I was a STRONG woman but when he died, I literally felt my heart and soul, break apart. I couldn't find my way out of that dark place. That was my storm. "I know you didn't bring me out here to drown". When I hear that line, it's like him telling me he didn't mean to die and leave me in this pain and darkness. I've spent years trying to want to live this life and continue on. "Barely surviving has become my purpose". I've been in this pain for so long now that it's all I know now "Cause I'm so used to living under the surface". If I saw him walk thru the door right now, "This darkness would turn to light". It always did. Everything was always fine, just knowing he was by my side. If I was upset, he was my soft place to fall if I felt the need. He was my bestfriend. He was the kindest person I ever knew. Just to see his face, put a smile on my face. So you can see how my take on this song would be totally different from the rest of you. This song couldn't have been written to reflect my feelings, more perferctly if he tried. It is a VERY emotional song to me. It almost feels like the soundtrack to my life and feelings since he died.
There shouldn't be any arguing as to whether it's about God or not. You take away the personal moments of the song and how each person "feels" when they hear it. That's what it's about. The "Feeling". Be it good or bad, it's the "Feeling". Thanks for letting me share.
Hi, first I wanted to say that I am so very very sorry to hear about your husband. I cannot possibly imagine what you were going through, and I hope that now things have gotten at least a little bit better. I personally really like the song "Stand in the Rain" by Superchick. I don't know if it is your type of music but its another one of those songs that is very personable so check it out; I think you might like it.
The other thing that I would like to say is that as a Christian,...

The other thing that I would like to say is that as a Christian, God is a very personal experience for me. He should be for every Christian. I don't know if I can say that the song is about God. "Walk on water" is generally a biblical allusion, but that doesn't mean that the song is about God. But, what makes this song so very personal and touching to me is that I can interpret it as being related to God. My current situation continues to be by far the most stressed out I have ever been in my life. So, the fact that I see this song as a sort of conversation with God is very personal to me.
Regardless of the intended meaning of the song, what makes it so beautiful, what makes art so beautiful, is that it can speak to the one who experiences it regardless of what its author intended.
Take care of yourself and I hope things get better.
best wishes and I dont actually know whether you are Christian or not, so please no offense is ment when I say God bless, and I will say a prayer for you.
