Jesus on the Sea
The disciples out on the sea
A tumultuous storm comes up
Thunder claps and lightening strikes
Lord help us is their cry
Suddenly an apparition appears!
Jesus is walking on the water
Be not afraid! It is I!
Peter steps out of the boat
He's walking toward His Master
Then he looked at the waves
He suddenly sinks down!
Lord save me he cries!
Jesus lifts him out of the water
He realizes he's in the boat
Oh Peter why did you doubt?
Jesus says peace be still
The calm surrounds them all
The disciples are amazed
Truly He is the Son of God!
