Lyrics
You call me out upon the waters
The great unknown where feet may fail
And there I find You in the mystery
In oceans deep
My faith will stand
And I will call upon Your name
And keep my eyes above the waves
When oceans rise
My soul will rest in Your embrace
For I am Yours and You are mine
Your grace abounds in deepest waters
Your sovereign hand
Will be my guide
Where feet may fail and fear surrounds me
You've never failed and You won't start now
So I will call upon Your name
And keep my eyes above the waves
When oceans rise
My soul will rest in Your embrace
For I am Yours and You are mine
[6x]
Spirit lead me where my trust is without borders
Let me walk upon the waters
Wherever You would call me
Take me deeper than my feet could ever wander
And my faith will be made stronger
In the presence of my Savior
Oh, Jesus, you're my God!
I will call upon Your name
Keep my eyes above the waves
My soul will rest in Your embrace
I am Yours and You are mine

I saw this yesterday when I was in the studio in NYC with Nora Jones, working on her new record. We all loved it, your ability to have your emotion show through is natural and a gift. As Nora said, "rare, rare talent...."
+David Waechter I have followed grace for years. Reading your comment that Nora Jones loves grace and is calling her a "rare, rare talent" makes me so happy. Grace has something so rare, its free flowing art that seems to pour out of her. A true gift to the world. Would Nora Jones do a song with Grace??? Nora could help this kid get out to the world, so people can experience her gift?? It would be a blessing for Nora as well, to have discovered grace and done something with her first, as i know this kid will be a huge star someday and Nora would have been the first to work with her.
+lillyanne gray I could not agree more. Great talent sees great talent. Norah has some of the same qualities so I am not surprised by her comments. I see what you do and have reached out to Grace and her family. Thanks for your insight.
+David Waechter Thank goodness there are people like you seeing this kid and thinking the way you think. Nora and Grace together would be the pinnacle of artistic expression. Please please make it happen!!
+David Waechter Please tell Nora thank you so much for the nice words. I am humbled as she is one of my favorite artist ever. It would be incredible to meet her some day and after reading this conversation below….an absolute dream if shed ever wanna work with a kid:) She has brought a lot of happy times to our home with her music. Thank you
+gracevardellmusic Hi Grace, I will certainly pass along your "thank you". you both have similar traits. I have been following you for quite a while, and spoke to your Father a few times earlier this year. It would be wonderful to work with you at some point. Keep the music coming.....
My wife and I just fell in love with this video . We were only 16 yrs old when we gotten married, we are now 58 yrs old now, 41 plus and with this song we still look at each other with the same eyes as when we were 16 and with songs like this we will love each other for another 41 yrs of love 💕💕 💕 we say thank you for your gift of love 💕
Glad to know there are still other faithful Christians
What a beautiful and touching rendition of Oceans! The voice, the music, the emotion - all were perfection. God has truly blessed you, Grace. I pray that you will always use your wonderful talent to bring glory and honor to Him.
I am in awe! God Blessed you with such an awesome voice, Grace. Please continue to include songs about our Lord and Savior, I can only imagine the smile you put on His face.
It's the Earth the song is sung for
Just discovered you Grace April 26, 2022.

I know my mom is smiling down from heaven seeing how much I enjoy all of your performances ,especially this one Grace.Just wish she was still here so I could see her reactions & hear her thoughts on the wonder that is Grace Vardell !
+ed s So kind.. I guess maybe if hearing the song pulls your Mother into your thoughts than the chances are that is her way of being there with you and sharing with you. Thank you for your kindness.
+gracevardellmusic Grace, wiser words could not have been said are you sure you're only 15 lol .How did you get so insightful? You don't ever need to thank me for my kindness as I can't begin to tell you how much you & your music lift my spirits & make many a day for me.I think some of my comments put a smile on your face from time to time & that's enough for me although I very much appreciate when you do respond:)Continue doing what you do girl & I will be hear listening, forever enjoying every moment.Just don't forget me when you become a superstar.Thank you so much my friend.
Hillsong has been so unreal for years, this song is unto our God.Grace keep it up,you are amazing at 16.🙏🏻
So young yet SO much depth. Thank you for being brave and singing songs that elevate the world. It is hard in the society you teenagers live in to stay on the right path. I have followed your career from the beginning and you my dear are special on so many different levels. You are a true authentic soulful artist, yet you are smart and wise and somehow seem to have a compass towards right. Very rare jewel!!! Keep shining your love and light on the world. Thank you Grace
+lillyanne gray thank you so much I always love hearing from you :)
Omg I love it so much ! I was like flying in an other world during all the song ! Your voice, your talent, your beauty... you look as an angel here !
I start my day by walking up to this song. I feel it's the best song you ever done
That is one of the most beautiful songs and there is NO way anyone could do it any better than you!
There's no words , I've heard beautiful music, and voices, but none has touched me like this has. Thank you !!!You've swept me away, I wish you a wonderful and beautiful life. You will touch many lives, you've just touched mine.
You have the most hauntingly beautiful voice I have ever heard. I love that you did a Christian cover as I am a Christian. This touched my heart and soul and made me fall in love with Jesus Christ all over again. Thank you Grace and God bless you and yours!
Oh my! That is absolutely incredible. Beautiful beyond words.
Such talent I wish I was like this but you have to love your self for well.. You.. But most importantly love Jesus he was the one who gave you this talent... A beautiful talent... God bless you.. 😌
Yes girl! You are amazing!!! I’m a fan for life! I’ve got your back!!! xo 😘
You have that "very rare" ability to make people stop what they are doing and listen. Thanks for posting and I think that you have the best voice in music. Can't wait for an album!
I agree with this person 100%
I am inspired by your voice and all the emotion you put in there. I hope your parents and friends support you all the way through so your dreams come true.
You go girl and take your chance.
Don't miss it out!
Never give up on music!
That vibrato 😻😻 you're amazing I'm in love with this 😍
I just love your voice, its so angelic and soothing.
I hear this song tons at church from the worship band and it's one of the ones I've really started to adore.
The way you chose to perform this is stunning, Grace :)
Keep up the great work!
Please make this available on iTunes/Playstore!!! I need this cover in my life! Lol! I really hope Hillsong notices this! Keep doing you girl and praise the Lord, you'll go far.
OMG.. such a mature voice! Wonderful!
Your voice is absolutely beautiful! All I can say is keep it up you have so much to look forward to in your life when your blessed with such a talent .
Love that cello! Thank you, Alex, for posting. You are a gift to music...
I never have a problem thinking of an adjective when describing your performances. It is like just closing your eyes and pick one because they all work with you. This was magnificent, the emotion and quality you bring to your music really sets you apart. On top of that singing this beautiful song that has such an incredible message makes it one of my favorite works by you. Great job by Alex. Don't change anything about you Grace Vardell. All the best in life to you. Kent, Texasroper
+texasroper aw thank you so much made my night :)

When you find someone who sings better than original singers of their own songs. Damn girl. When people say they were born with a God given gift THIS is what they mean. A God given gift to you, a blessing for the rest of us.
You pick great songs, most I've never heard before. When I hear a song for the first time, in whichever style, it becomes the original to me.
Even though I prefer rap and rock music I can appreciate talent. You have an amazing voice and I look forward to your videos. I hope that you have been signed to a label and if not I hope it happens soon. I look forward to seeing more of you in the future and hopefully on some music channels
I have never felt the need to comment on any you tube video. note have I ever felt the need to chime in work yet another "your wonderful"comment for any artist.
you are the exception. I don't remember which of your performances I stumbled across online first, but I immediately searched for all the others and listened to all of them one after the other.
Since then I have immersed myself in them each one at a time trying to fully appreciate them.
I know your have heard this alt over the last few years of your life but I guess I do need to and my voice to the choir singing your praises.
You are unique and your talent is amazing to me. I how it is not too inappropriate for me to have also instantly been aware that you are a beautiful young woman. Your voice is even more so and your interpretation and recreation of the songs you cover takes most of them to a level that the original performers can only envy. (More than one of the originals made me cringe when I tracked it down and listened to it after experiencing your version.)
That you can do this on nothing more than the talents, abilities and insights that you have gained in only 16(?) years on this earth is difficult to accept. But the proof is here for us all to see.
I look forward to watching you continue sharing your gifts with those of us who have stumbled across you and I look forward to the success I know you will find.
If I may, I'd like to make one request of you. Please... PLEASE... do not change who you are or what you do when the inevitable commercial influences come into consideration.
I of course do not know you at all beyond the glimpse I gain through your art, but of you music and your performances of it are any indication at all... you are much to good to let anyone sully what you have and what you do.
So beautiful even brought tears to my eyes.
I rarely comment on videos but I couldn't NOT tell you what an incredibly talented young woman you are. I first heard you when you were just 13 and your tone, range, and control blew me away then.... You have an amazing gift. I don't know if this particular song wAs chosen because of your personal faith or simply because it's a beautiful song but honey you have an anointing and I hope you continue to bless people with your God given talents. There's a humility in your voice and performances that is rare and I just want you to know I'm a huge fan of you! God bless you hon
AMAZING!!! I keep listening. Grace, thank you so much for uploading. Your voice is beautiful and you deserve to have a album on iTunes.! Great job.!
Wow, simply AMAZING. Your voice is incredible. Can't stop listening to your music. :)
Grace... You are truly anointed by the lord himself. Don't become jaded to this world keep your head high. This is a truly amazing .. May Christ bless you
The word I tried to type....BRAVO.
Brilliant job on the amazing cover you two. Could sit and listen for hours like all your perfect songs
Superb performance by ethereal musician Alex Kelly. Brave! Much, much more!
Oh my gosh! This gave me the chills when i heard it. An amazing cover of an amazing song. Loved it!
Man she can sing
Thank you for using your gift to praise and give glory to our God .
On Grace's previous videos, she was a real pretty girl, now in this one we see her maturing into an exceptionally beautiful woman, with her beauty matching her talent and the beauty of the songs she selects to perform. I now enjoy watching the video as much as I have always enjoyed listening to her voice. It's just wonderful Grace that you make each selection your own, not copying anyone else's interpretation, and then giving these beautiful compositions to all of us. If you make an appearance in Texas, I will be there.
Her vibrato is out of this world. Amazing!!
you are heavenly ! this is so amazing ..:) your voice and beauty combined with piano.. goodness gorgeous gracious you grace X
