An immensely talented musician, Liv Harland, gives a moving and powerful rendition of a popular tune from Hillsong UNITED, performing in a beautiful, awe-inspiring location.

Most people enjoy and appreciate knowing what to expect in any given situation. Planning and anticipating are the best ways to combat and strategize against the unknown. However, that’s not how life often works. Instead, things – good and bad - can crop up out of nowhere, leading to confusion and the testing and stretching of our faith.

In a clip posted on YouTube, singer Liv Harland belts out the lyrics to the song “Oceans (Spirit Lead Me),” a tune about fully trusting in the Lord’s guidance and direction when the outcome is more than a little murky. The track accurately describes situations everyone has found themselves in at one time or another. The lyrics also correctly point out the feelings of fear, angst and unease that so often accompany those times. 

From the opening seconds of the video, it’s clear that Liv possesses an abundance of musical talent. Her voice is beautiful, wonderfully singing out the lyrics about having faith in God during a period of extreme uncertainty.

“Your grace abounds in the deepest waters
Your sovereign hand will be my guide
Where feet mail fail and fear surrounds me
You’ve never failed and You won’t start now”

During these periods, when the present situation and what lies ahead is unclear, simply call out the Lord’s name, as the lyrics mention. He is faithful, having never let us down up until this point. He will be there to provide help, healing, comfort and guidance. 

The stretching and testing of our faith is never ever fun. In fact, it’s often painful. But those circumstances can draw us closer to Him, forcing us to rely upon Him more and more because sometimes that is all we can do. 

Joshua 1:9 “Have I not given you your orders? Take heart and be strong; have no fear and do not be troubled: for the Lord your God is with you wherever you go.”
