When It Becomes Real

 

 

 

 

 

 

 

 

 

 

 

 

 

 

They’d seen Him heal the sick and lame,

And help the blind to see,

But they were frightened by the storm

Upon that angry sea.

 

They’d sailed that sea all of their lives,

But, when that storm blew in,

It terrified them to despair

And they were lost again.

 

He rose within the tempest’s rage

And bade the storm be still.

Without a question or a pause

The storm answered His will.

 

They’d seen the miracles before,

But this one they could feel.

This one touched them, body and soul,

It was so very real.

 

I think I understand it now…

The miracles amazed,

But when one hit that close to home

They felt startled and dazed.

 

They knew He was the Son of God,

That much He had made clear,

But when He calmed the storm for them,

That truth became more dear. 

 

Luke 8: 24

And they went and woke him, saying, “Master, Master, we are perishing!” And he awoke and rebuked the wind and the raging waves, and they ceased, and there was a calm.
