The boat.......
We were all afraid for our life
the storm was raging and the waves were high.
We threw over all we could let go
and still we were in the water low.
I looked out in the water and what did I see?
The Lord Himself walking on the sea.
Those with me thought it was a ghost,
but, within myself, I said "It is the Lord of Hosts."
I called to him and said, "Lord if it's you, bid me to come!"
He called back, "Yes, it's Me, come on!
To my amazed eyes, I stepped out of the boat.
I took steps no man had made before, I am on foot and float!
Taking some steps, I think this is great!
Then the storm caught my eye and I became faint.
I felt myself sinking,
ever so slowly and still in my thinking,
I was amazed that I was still afloat!
Then the Lord walked me back to the boat.
As we steped inside, he rebuked the storm.
It died, and was no more harm.
Safely aboard, we all rejoice with shouts,
we were singing and dancing about.
The Lord said to us, "Where was your faith?
We knew He was God's Son by the works and by His grace.
We worshiped Him there and then.
Where we went after this, I can't even begin........
