The Waters Saw You – A Blues Song Inspired by Psalm 77

** Psalm 77 is a cry from the depths of distress, written by Asaph, one of King David’s chief musicians. This psalm reflects the anguish of feeling abandoned by God but ultimately shifts into a declaration of faith by remembering God’s past wonders. The psalmist struggles with doubt, asking, "Has His loving kindness vanished forever?" (Psalm 77:8), yet finds strength by recalling God’s mighty deeds—splitting the sea, shaking the heavens, and leading His people through the storm.

This song, "The Waters Saw You," captures the emotional weight of Psalm 77 in a deep funky blues style—with heavy bass, raw guitar licks, and a groove that carries both the lament and the breakthrough of faith.

** Psalm 77 (WEB – World English Bible)

For the Chief Musician. To Jeduthun. A Psalm by Asaph.

1 My cry goes to God! Indeed, I cry to God for help, and he will listen to me.
2 In the day of my trouble I sought the Lord. My hand was stretched out in the night, and didn’t get tired. My soul refused to be comforted.
3 I remember God, and I groan. I complain, and my spirit is overwhelmed. Selah.
4 You hold my eyelids open. I am so troubled that I can’t speak.
5 I have considered the days of old, the years of ancient times.
6 I remember my song in the night. I consider in my own heart; my spirit diligently inquires:
7 “Will the Lord reject us forever? Will he be favorable no more?
8 Has his loving kindness vanished forever? Does his promise fail for generations?
9 Has God forgotten to be gracious? Has he, in anger, withheld his compassion?” Selah.
10 Then I thought, “I will appeal to this: the years of the right hand of the Most High.”
11 I will remember Yah’s deeds; for I will remember your wonders of old.
12 I will also meditate on all your work, and consider your doings.
13 Your way, God, is in the sanctuary. What god is great like God?
14 You are the God who does wonders. You have made your strength known among the peoples.
15 You have redeemed your people with your arm, the sons of Jacob and Joseph. Selah.
16 The waters saw you, God. The waters saw you, and they writhed. The depths also convulsed.
17 The clouds poured out water. The skies resounded with thunder. Your arrows also flashed around.
18 The voice of your thunder was in the whirlwind. The lightnings lit up the world. The earth trembled and shook.
19 Your way was through the sea, your paths through the great waters. Your footsteps were not known.
20 You led your people like a flock, by the hand of Moses and Aaron.

** Lyrics: The Waters Saw You
Verse 1

I called out to heaven, but the silence held me still,
Yeah, I stretched my hands to reach you, but the night pressed on my will.
Sleep fled from my eyes, my soul refused to rest,
I searched the years behind me, but no answer filled my chest.
Verse 2

Has mercy turned to shadow? Has Your kindness lost its name?
Has the fire of Your promise turned to cold and empty flame?
I asked my heart in silence, as the storm raged in my bones—
Did You forget compassion? Did You leave us all alone?
Verse 3

Then I turned to what was written, to the wonders of old,
When You led the sons of Jacob with a fire fierce and bold.
I remembered how the waters saw You, how the deep began to shake,
How the sky split with thunder, how the earth began to quake.
Bridge (Slower, Reflective)

Your way was through the waters,
Your path through the raging tide.
No footsteps left behind You,
But You walked right by our side.
Verse 4

The wind carried Your whispers, lightning flashed in Your name,
The storm became Your servant, the whirlwind bore Your flame.
No man could trace Your footprints, but Your voice still calls the lost,
You are God above the tempest, You are hope upon the cross.
Outro (Haunting, Slow Blues Riff)

So I will sing in darkness, I will trust when light is gone,
For the God who split the waters, still leads His children on.
