Hillsong UNITED is a Christian worship band that has been creating music for over two decades. One of their most popular and beloved songs is “Oceans (Spirit Lead Me)”, Released in the year 2013.
The song which is the fourth track from the Zion album begins with the lyrics “You call me out upon the waters, the great unknown where feet may fail.” These words express a sense of uncertainty and vulnerability, as if the singer is stepping into the unknown and uncertain waters of life. But then the chorus comes in and declares “And I will call upon Your name, and keep my eyes above the waves. When oceans rise, my soul will rest in Your embrace. For I am Yours, and You are mine.”
This chorus is a powerful declaration of faith and trust in God. Even when life gets difficult and the waves of uncertainty and doubt threaten to overwhelm us, we can find strength and peace by keeping our eyes fixed on God. We can trust that He will be with us always, and that He will never let us go.
The bridge of the song is particularly powerful, with the lyrics “Spirit lead me where my trust is without borders, let me walk upon the waters, wherever You would call me. Take me deeper than my feet could ever wander, and my faith will be made stronger, in the presence of my Savior.”
These words express a deep desire to follow God wherever He leads, even if that means stepping out of our comfort zone and into the unknown. It’s a call to trust in God’s guidance and to be willing to go wherever He leads us, no matter how challenging or difficult it may seem. And as we do so, we can be confident that our faith will be made stronger and that we will experience the presence of our Savior in a profound and transformative way.

Oceans (Spirit Lead Me) Lyrics By Hillsong UNITED
You call me out upon the waters
The great unknown where feet may fail
And there I find You in the mystery
In oceans deep
My faith will stand
And I will call upon Your name
And keep my eyes above the waves
When oceans rise
My soul will rest in Your embrace
For I am Yours and You are mine
Your grace abounds in deepest waters
Your sovereign hand
Will be my guide
Where feet may fail
And fear surrounds me
You’ve never failed
And You won’t start now
So I will call upon Your name
And keep my eyes above the waves
When oceans rise
My soul will rest in Your embrace
For I am Yours and You are mine
And You are mine
Spirit lead me where my trust is without borders
Let me walk upon the waters
Wherever You would call me
Take me deeper than my feet could ever wander
And my faith will be made stronger
In the presence of my Saviour
Spirit lead me where my trust is without borders
Let me walk upon the waters
Wherever You would call me
Take me deeper than my feet could ever wander
And my faith will be made stronger
In the presence of my Saviour
Spirit lead me where my trust is without borders
Let me walk upon the waters
Wherever You would call me
Take me deeper than my feet could ever wander
And my faith will be made stronger
In the presence of my Saviour
Spirit lead me where my trust is without borders
Let me walk upon the waters
Wherever You would call me
Take me deeper than my feet could ever wander
And my faith will be made stronger
In the presence of my Saviour
Spirit lead me where my trust is without borders
Let me walk upon the waters
Wherever You would call me
Take me deeper than my feet could ever wander
And my faith will be made stronger
In the presence of my Saviour
Spirit lead me where my trust is without borders
Let me walk upon the waters
Wherever You would call me
Take me deeper than my feet could ever wander
And my faith will be made stronger
In the presence of my Saviour
Oh, Jesus, You’re my God!
I will call upon Your name
Keep my eyes above the waves
My soul will rest in Your embrace
I am Yours and You are mine
