Sometimes when it's hard to keep on going without answers, doubt is that rip in the ocean that tries to drag you down & out, to tear your eyes from Jesus to look at your fate in the waves of despair...
but Jesus doesn't leave you there to drown beneath the ocean - He grabs your hand, and He says, "Why did you doubt?"

What lies beneath the ocean?
It's a mystery to me;
If I live beneath the ocean,
If I live beneath the ocean,
is there air enough to breathe?
What lies beneath the ocean
pulling me further down?
If I live beneath the ocean,
how long until I drown?
Stand on the water
and pull me ashore;
give me the faith
to walk with you, Lord.
It's doubt that drags me
back under the ocean;
in a world of confusion,
of hate and commotion.
Help me to keep
my eyes on Christ;
to trample the doubt
and conquer the strife.
For You know what's in the ocean
as I struggle in the waves;
If I drown beneath the ocean,
You are strong enough to save.
For what lies beneath the ocean
is a dark and stormy sea;
But when I'm walking on the ocean,
it doesn't matter much to me.

Cool, that may have been meant metaphorically but in the story I am writing some land creatures do literally live in a hidden place under the ocean. SO the poem brought all these cool thoughts about that to me :D
