| Joseph Larson & Sonlife Band - Didn't I Walk On The Water - Sonlife TV - Screen Capture From The Video |
Hello,
Recently I was surfing on YouTube and came across an awesome video of Linda Gibson-Johnson singing her heart out at a little Pentecostal church.
So I began searching for other music/videos by her and found a number of them. Many are shaky, handheld videos...shot in little churches...using the on-board mic of the camera... and they are sometimes decidedly lo-fi...but I really found myself liking her and being Blessed by her music.
(See 10-16-13 blog post Linda Gibson-Johnson - I Got Saved In The Old Time Way)
Then I discovered that she'd written "Didn't I Walk On The Water"...and since I've been watching a lot of Jimmy Swaggart's Sonlife Broadcasting Channel on TV and heard his band perform it many times...I immediately began a search for a version with Joseph Larson singing lead, backed by the amazing Sonlife Band, and posted the video below.

The lyrics of this song are really beautiful and I have the feeling that Linda Gibson-Johnson really lived and walked them.
I hope this version by Larson and Sonlife will Bless you!
(You'll find the lyrics posted below the video)
19 Many are the afflictions of the righteous,
But the LORD delivers him out of them all.
But the LORD delivers him out of them all.
18 The Lord is near to all who call on him,
to all who call on him in truth.
to all who call on him in truth.
19 He fulfills the desires of those who fear him;
he hears their cry and saves them.
he hears their cry and saves them.

Didn’t I Walk On The Water - Lyrics
As I kneel in the darkness in the middle of the night,
Lord, I’m praying for assurance, everything’s gonna be alright,
Lord, I see another valley, and it's out in front of me,
I’m afraid I won’t be able, and I’ll go down in defeat,
But He said, Do you remember just where I brought you from,
Won't you take a look behind you, and see how far you’ve come,
Every time you asked me, didn’t I deliver you,
So why would you be thinking, that I wouldn’t see you through,
Chorus One:
Didn't I walk on the water and I calmed the raging sea
I spoke to the wind, and it hushed and I gave you peace,
Didn’t I run to your rescue, didn’t I hear you when you called,
I walked right beside you, just so you wouldn’t fall,
Didn’t I leave all of Heaven, just to die for your sin,
I searched until I found you, and I’d do it all again,
Now she’s talking to her father in a house that was once a home,
She said my bills are coming due Lord, and six days is not that long,
She hears a voice so still and low,
It said I’ve moved like that before,
And I’ll do this little thing, child, and I’ll give you so much more,
(To Chorus One)
Chorus Two:
Didn't I put food on your table,
Showed up when the bills where due,
When the pains where racking your body,
Oh, I sent healing down to you,
When you where lost in sin and sorrow,
I died to set you free,
So you would know just how much,
I loved you
