Tired of rowing, they fell asleep.
The storm grew wild.
It took just a moment, and they were trapped.
Surrounded by water,
Sudden fear was controlling their lives.
As if the rain washed away the faith
From their hearts,
As if the darkness of the night
Took away their sight.
Nothing, just fear and doubts.
They were not even able to recognise
The One, walking on the water.
Who just some moments ago,
Performed such a miracle,
Feeding the crowd, not only by word.
All they can see is a ghost,
A flash of light, and there is nowhere to hide.
If you just had a little faith,
Opened the eyes of your heart.
You would feel, you would know,
The One walking on the water,
Is the One sent by God.
And when He calls upon your name,
To step out of the boat and walk in faith
Walking on the water with a stretched hand,
In that moment when doubts paralyze you,
You are sinking, and you believe you are losing your life,
He grabs you by your arm
As a loving father who is desperate to save his son.
