Vincent Flannery Poet Rhyme

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?

If they only knew! We were bought with such a Great Price. So sad to know there are many who don't know this. He blessed me with a great faith and I know so many of the Lord promises. "For if it were not true, would I not have told you." For it is true. Thank You Skat! I appreciate you taking time and visiting my site. Take care! And God Bless!
