From Matthew 8:24-25: “A windstorm suddenly arose on the sea, so great that the boat was being swamped by the waves, but He was asleep. And they went and woke Him up, saying, ‘Lord, save us! We are perishing!'”
Swamped by storm’s endless waves
Darkness covers waters
Perishing, “Lord, save us”
Every son and daughter
Deceived by enemy
Lord brings light upon scene
Watching evilness flee
Savior transforms faith’s genes
Filled with courageous strength
Darkness gives in to light
Witnessing, “Lord with us”
Mercy boards rescue’s flight
Glorified God in Christ
Lord teaches how to love
Rising beyond death’s tomb
Infinite grace above
Urged to always stand firm
Darkness shrinking away
Hearing Lord, “Do not fear”
Righteousness paves His way
From Isaiah 41:13: “For I, the Lord your God, hold your right hand; it is I who say to you, ‘Do not fear, I will help you.'”
