Prerequisite to Peter’s Leadership

Inspired by the Gospel song, “Precious Lord, Take My hand,” by Thomas A. Dorsey Prerequisite to Peter’s leadership On the boat, on the sea, Jesus walks next to me. It was calm on rough seas as Christ’s feet tests our faith, opens eyes. Not a ghost, no disguise. Refrain: This your rock, O my Lord, you lead me “Can I come, can we talk,” I ask Him as He walks. He says, “Come,” walk to me; wow my feet on surface, I receive, still the wind does perceive. Refrain: This your rock, O my Lord, you lead me The persist of pied waves scared me straight, I’m not brave. As I sink, I cry out to the Lord. “Help me, please!” A strong grasp. “Thank you, Lord,” as I gasp. Refrain: This your rock, O my Lord, you lead me Safe and sound, as we rock in the boat; we’re His flock. Our shepherd brought our boat straight to shore. We’re in awe of His works. There’s no doubt, there are perks. Refrain: This your rock, O my Lord, you lead me Still warm hands, unsettling. Christ’s whipping, deafening. Deny Him? How could I! How I weep. He forgives readily, As Christ loves steadily. Refrain: This your rock, O my Lord, you lead me
