Sink or swim I'm diving in!

Before I left for Tanzania I was really scared to go; I would be leaving my friends and family and living in a country far far way. I mean really really scared. I had been here before, but two weeks is nothing like two months. Also, let me say right now travel doctors are the devil. Mine pretty much told me that going to African with Crohn’s disease is the stupidest thing I could ever do. They put all these terrible thoughts in your head and mine just made every thing worse! I was freaking out inside I almost felt trapped. It was my choice to go but could I really go through with it? My passion for Tanzania was the only thing that kept me from jumping ship, until I heard this song. This is exactly what I felt a couple weeks before I left and it gave me the courage to go. I just needed to take the leap of faith. Jump in and immerse my body in the experience, feel the water rush over me and cleanse my thirsty soul.

All the waiting rains have fallen hard upon the thirsty ground and carved away to where the wild rushing river can be found and like the rain I have been carried here to where the river flows. Ya. My heart is racing and my knees are weak as I walk to the edge. I know there is no turning back once my feel have left the ledge and in the rush I hear a voice that’s telling me it’s time to take the leap of faith. So, here I go.
I’m diving in I’m going deep in over my head I wanna be, caught in the rush lost in the flow. In over my head I wanna go. The rivers deep, the rivers wide, the rivers water is alive. So sink or swim I’m diving in. I’m diving in.
There is a supernatural power in this might rivers flow. It can bring the dead to life and it can fill an empty soul and give our hears the only thing worth living and worth dying for. Ya. But we will never know the awesome power of the grace of God until we let ourselves get swept away into this holy flood. So, if you take my hand we’ll close our eyes and count to three and take the leap of faith. Come on lets go.
I’m diving in I’m going deep in over my head I wanna be, caught in the rush lost in the flow. In over my head I wanna go. The rivers deep, the rivers wide, the rivers water is alive. So sink or swim I’m diving in. I’m diving in.
I’m diving in. I’m diving in. Ya, here I go!
