Jesus and Peter On the Water
JESUS AND PETER ON THE WATER
(Gustave Brion)
Walking on the water,
Walking on the sea,
I see Jesus walking,
Walking towards me,
Coming, He's coming near,
In fear, I'm dismayed,
He says, "Take heart, it's I,
Do not be afraid."
I say, "Bid me come, Lord,
Walking towards You,"
He says, "Come" and I walk
On the water blue,
The wind blows boisterous,
And I look at it,
Frightened, begin to sink,
Sinking bit by bit,
I cry out, "Lord, save me!"
He caught me stretched out,
"O you of little faith,
Wherefore did you doubt?"
Then we walked together
Back towards the ship,
The wind ceased, we all bowed
To Him in worship,
"You are the Son of God,
Now we know it's true",
That day, learnt a lesson,
Let me share with you,
"Look ever to Jesus,
Even in the storm,
Do not doubt His power,
Wonders He'll perform.
I was about to drown,
A wind's blow away
From sinking in deep doubt,
But He saved the day.
When I stepped out that day,
My faith, He restored,
Will you walk on water
Along with the Lord?"
