Surviving the Storm
There they were out on the sea as in the boat the Lord slept
In the storm that they'd see, suddenly all that fear had crept
As these fishermen began to fret in seeing such stormy seas
Peacefully there our Lord slept but the storm wouldn't cease
The waves broke over the side and the wind was gale force
And no matter how they tried they went further off course
Soon their little boat would sink and they'd all certainly die
In being on such a brink to wake the Lord they had to try
How is it that you are so faithless as Our Lord would stand
Able to save you from any mess, simply put it in His Hand
He told the seas to be still then rebuking the wind in kind
For all creation obeys His Will, in man this you don't find
You may think the Lord is sleeping and of you He is unaware
As these feelings that you steep at the walls of faith they tear
He knows you inside-out, all that you were, are, and will be
Of this have no doubt no matter how bad the storm on your sea
Mark 4:40
And he said unto them,
Why are ye so fearful? how is it that ye have no faith?
