On a great ocean,

The winds do contrary blow,

Jesus walks upon the water,

And bids Peter to follow

The boisterous winds increase,

As does fear and doubt,

Peter cries, "Lord, save me!"

Jesus puts his hand out...(Matt. 14:24-31)

We are traveling a great ocean,

The winds are contrary to His ways,

According to the spirit of disobedience, (Eph 2:2)

We strive to be children of the day (I Thess. 5:5)

As the multitudes around us increase,

And we fear that we are alone,

Jesus reaches out his faithful hand,

A most perfect cornerstone (Eph. 2:20)

Matt. 14:24-31

 But the ship was now in the midst of the sea, tossed with waves: for the wind was contrary. 

 And in the fourth watch of the night Jesus went unto them, walking on the sea. 

 And when the disciples saw him walking on the sea, they were troubled, saying, † It is a spirit; and they cried out for fear. 

 But straightway Jesus spake unto them, saying, Be of good cheer; it is I; be notafraid. 

 And Peter answered him and said, Lord, if it be thou, bid me come unto thee on the water. 

 And he said, Come. And when Peter was come down out of the ship, he walked on the water, to go to Jesus. 

 But when he saw the wind boisterous, he was afraid; and beginning to sink, he cried, saying, Lord, save me. 

 And immediately Jesusstretched forth his hand, and caught him, and said unto him, O thou of little faith, wherefore didst thou doubt? 

Eph 2:2  Wherein intime past ye walkedaccording to the course of thisworld, according to the prince of the powerof the air, the spiritthat nowworketh inthe children of disobedience: 

I Thess. 5:5 Ye are all the children of light, andthe children of the day: we are not of the night, nor of darkness. 

Ephesians 2:20 And are built upon the foundationof the apostles and prophets, Jesus Christ himself beingthe chief cornerstone;
