Reverse

What manner of man is this that even the sea and wind obey
For Jesus was asleep in the boat with the Apostles on that day
When suddenly the distress in these experienced fisherman was clear
For the sea so quickly whipped into a tempest filling these men with fear 

Never seeing such wrath and fury they came to the Lord with this
And in this the Lord was remiss in saying know you not to even worry
But then the Lord soon arose and He rebuked the winds and the sea
What manner of man is this we see as where once fear was now faith shows

Reaching Gergesenes Jesus was met by two possessed by evil
Jesus' Presence tormented both for they certainly knew of God's Will
Asking that Jesus cast them out into a grazing herd in the distance
Jesus said go as the herd jumped into the sea, the herders telling everyone hence

And so the people all met and decided that this Jesus must leave
For their profit they couldn't retrieve but knew better than to beset
So they told Him He had to go that He could not stay on their coast
In trying to be a good host we should all just allow His Light to glow
