Walking On Water

 

What faith it took to leave that boat
And step out on the waves,
But he stepped out on the command
Of Him whose teaching saves.
 
I don’t think Peter thought it through
When He said, “Come to me”,
He simply took that step in faith
And walked upon the sea.
 
It wasn’t until distraction
Intruded on his faith
That he felt himself start to sink,
And faith became a wraith.
 
Yet, even still, Christ took his hand
And drew him back upon
The waves that once more held his weight.
His lack of faith was gone.
 
How wondrous would that walk have been
And even more the grace
That saved him from faltering faith,
Christ’s forgiving embrace.
 
Matthew 14:29-30
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.”
