To Fly or Stand

 

 

 

 

 

 

 

 

 

 

 

The wind and waves came crashing in

Upon the stormy shore,

Sweeping the gulls into the air.

Then, rushing out once more.

 

Some lingered there upon the sand,

Others took wing in flight,

Both living within their instincts,

Neither one wrong or right.

 

Thus, is it with mankind, as well,

We’re each given a choice.

Do we take flight at the first storm

Or stand strong and rejoice?

 

Do we give up and fly away

Or do we stand to face

The turbulence of every day

And hold on to His Grace.

 

I don’t know which is the right choice,

I just know, fly or stand,

The first choice I will always make

Is to live in His hand.

 

Isaiah 41:10

fear not, for I am with you; be not dismayed, for I am your God; I will strengthen you, I will help you, I will uphold you with my righteous right hand.

Walking On Water

 

 

 

 

 

 

 

 

 

 

 

 

 

 

 

I’ll never walk on water, Lord,

My spirit’s not that strong,

But I know who will lead me through

When everything goes wrong.

 

I’ll never walk on water, Lord,

That much I think is clear,

But I will stand up in my faith

Knowing that You are near.

 

I’ll never walk on water, Lord,

I see that at a glance,

But I’ll always sing out Your praise

When given half a chance.

 

I’ll never walk on water, Lord,

That’s something I can’t do,

But I know who can do that, Lord.

My faith and trust’s in You!

 

Matthew 14:28-30

And Peter answered him, “Lord, if it is you, command me to come to you on the water.” He said, “Come.” So Peter got out of the boat and walked on the water and came to Jesus. But when he saw the wind, he was afraid, and beginning to sink he cried out, “Lord, save me.”
