Oceans (Where Feet May Fail) - Radio Version

This song by the Australian worship band Hillsong United tells the story, as recounted in Matthew 14 v22-33, of Peter being called by Jesus to walk on the water. The disciple did so, but temporarily lost faith and started to sink, so he was forced to call on Jesus to rescue him. According to Hillsong it's, "about stepping into the unknown and a song about faith and trust." For another song with a similar theme, check out Britt Nicole's "Walk on the Water."

The vocalist is Taya Smith, a newcomer to the Hillsong team. She sang the whole song in one take.

This debuted on the Billboard Hot 100 dated February 2014. It wasn't the first Hillsong song to reach the US singles chart – a version of Darlene Zschech's "Shout to the Lord" was performed by the by the remaining eight contestants of American Idol and a gospel choir on the reality singing show in 2008 and debuted at #43 on the Hot 100 the following week.
