"I'm drowning" ~ I cried out in
fearfulness . . . sinking, about to die . . .
through the darkness I felt Your arms
Your voice whisp'rd this reply ~

"FEAREST THOU NOT ~ I am with thee
the waters shall not overtake . . .
I am Peace~Speaker in ev'ry storm
I will not leave you nor forsake" ~

Times & betimes Jesus comforts me
my pleas He oft' hears as a prayer . . .
and e'en when I hurt too much to speak
what security to know HE is there ~

I find Him Lamb of God for my sins
The Good Shepherd who leadeth me . . .
back to The Fold when I lose my way
beautiful Lily of the Valley ~

Sweet Rose of Sharon ~ Healing Balm
my Counsellor, Saviour and Friend . . .
Everlasting Father ~ The Prince of Peace
Alpha~Omega ~ Beginning and End ~

Grace Giver of Mercy ~ Bright Morning Star
The Truth ~ The Life ~ The Way . . .
accept these praises I lift to THEE
from these trembling lips of clay!

And straightway Jesus constrained his disciples to get into
a ship, and to go before him unto the other side, while he
sent the multitudes away.
And when he had sent the multitudes away, he went up
into a mountain apart to pray: and when the evening was
come, he was there alone.
But the ship was now in the midst of the sea, tossed with
waves: for the wind was contrary.
And in the fourth watch of the night Jesus went unto them,
walking on the sea.
And when the disciples saw him walking on the sea, they
were troubled, saying, It is a spirit; and they cried out in fear.
But straightway Jesus spake unto them, saying.
Be of good cheer; it is I; be not afraid.
And Peter answered him and said, Lord, if it be thou, bid
me come unto thee on the water.
And he said, Come. And when Peter was come down
out of the ship, he walked on the water, to go to Jesus.
But when he saw the wind boisterous, he was afraid;
and beginning to sink, he cried, saying, Lord, save me.
And immediately Jesus stretched forth his hand, and
caught him, and said unto him.
O thou of little faith, wherefore didst thou doubt?
And when they were come into the ship, the
wind ceased.
St. Matthew 14:22~32
