Peter Walking Upon The Water

A Word from Jesus calms the sea, The stormy wind controls; And gives repose and liberty To tempest-tossed souls. To Peter on the waves he came, And gave him instant peace; Thus he to me revealed his name, And bid my sorrows cease. Then filled with wonder, joy and love, Peter's request was mine; Lord, call me down, I long to prove That I am wholly thine. Unmoved at all I have to meet On life's tempestuous sea; Hard, shall be easy; bitter, sweet, So I may follow thee. He heard and smiled, and bid me try, I eagerly obeyed; But when from him I turned my eye, How was my soul dismayed! The storm increased on every side, I felt my spirit shrink; And soon, with Peter, loud I cried, Lord, save me, or I sink. Kindly he caught me by the hand, And said, Why dost thou fear? Since thou art come at my command, And I am always near. Upon my promise rest thy hope, And keep my love in view; I stand engaged to hold thee up, And guide thee safely through.
