Title: Get in the Boat
by Diane Sample
|
"Get in the boat," He said to them.
"Head for the other side."
"Yes, O Lord, we'll go with you,"
Excitedly they cried.
The little boat went sailing on
And Jesus , weary, slept.
A storm arose so powerful
That all the people wept.
"Jesus, don't you care for us?
Please help us lest we drown!
The water's rising in the boat,
The storm winds all around."
Jesus rose; surveyed the lot
To the storm He said,"Be still."
The wind and seas at once were hushed;
The men with wonder filled.
"Who is this Man who speaks a word
And wind and sea obey?"
Oh faithless men! Why did they think?
He did not know their fate?
But we, as they, when storm winds come
Cry out to Him in fear.
We do not put our trust in Him
Though our destination's clear.
He has not promised cloudless days.
He says He will abide.
He'll safely take us through the storm
And to the other side.
Lord, help us to remember that no matter how strong the winds and how fierce
the storms, we have only to trust you to hold us in the center of Your will
as in the shadow of your wings where we are safe. Amen Love ,Diane
