[Chorus]
Jesus walking on the water
Sweet Jesus walking in the sky
Sinking sand, he took my hand
Raised me up and he brought me up

And did he, did he, did he come back across?
[Chorus]
Jesus walking on the water
Sweet Jesus walking in the sky
Sinking sand, took my hand
Raised me up and he brought me up
I can hold my, my, my head high
