Eleven
men beside myself In a boat both small and light Pushed off for Gennesaret In the
first watch of the night But a storm came up at midnight Blowing hard down on the
prow We started losing headway Shipping water, stern and bow When someone shouted
loud, Hey, look, a starboard on the sea The men screamed out in terror At the form
we all could see Someone was walking on the water And we trembled, cried and
prayed But he stopped and turned and spoke to us It is I, don't be afraid
I shouted out to Jesus If it's you, then call to me And tell me now to come to
you And walk across the sea And without a second's thought He looked at me and
answered, come My insides turned to water My mind went blank and numb I climbed
across the tunnel Looking straight into his eyes But long before I'd reached his
side The wind began to rise And I forgot him in an instant And I sank just like a
stone I cried out, Jesus, save me And his hat was on my head
Of little faith He said, what made you doubt my word?
Have you been this long with me Without knowing what you've heard?
And all at once the wind was gone The sea turned calm and gentle The day began to
dawn We knelt amazed and worshipped him For the power he displayed For all that we
had seen Had left us wondering and dismayed It was not till after Pentecost I
began to understand
