Sinking Beneath The Waves Poem by Royston Nella
Sinking Beneath The Waves
The winds blew strong and waves cascaded into the boat.
Battling against the sea we struggled to keep afloat.
The night was far spent and we were tired and weary,
then He came, walking on the water so strange and eerie.
Despite all the turmoil, and though the wind and sea did roar
I wished to walk in places that I'd never walked before.
I wanted to step out in faith and be with Jesus my Lord,
so He bid me to come to Him and I obeyed His word.
That first step for me would be a giant leap of faith
but I knew no matter how I felt He'd keep me safe.
So that great step I took and I was out of the boat
and though the winds and waves bellowed I was still afloat.
But then I took my eyes off Him and was petrified,
and as I sank beneath the waves, "Lord save me, " I cried.
I'm safe now from that raging storm for He'd heard me,
and reaching out saved me from life's tempestuous sea.
When life's waves overwhelm me as sometimes they do,
I'm so glad Lord Jesus that I can call out to You.
At times when my faith is weak and I begin to doubt
it's then Lord Jesus, that You reach down and help me out.
Immediately Jesus made the disciples get into the boat and go on ahead of him to the other side, while he dismissed the crowd.After he had dismissed them, he went up on a mountainside by himself to pray. Later that night, he was there alone,and the boat was already a considerable distance from land, buffeted by the waves because the wind was against it.
Shortly before dawn Jesus went out to them, walking on the lake.When the disciples saw him walking on the lake, they were terrified. "It's a ghost, " they said, and cried out in fear.
But Jesus immediately said to them: "Take courage! It is I. Don't be afraid."
"Lord, if it's you, " Peter replied, "tell me to come to you on the water."
"Come, " he said.
Then Peter got down out of the boat, walked on the water and came toward Jesus.But when he saw the wind, he was afraid and, beginning to sink, cried out, "Lord, save me! "
Immediately Jesus reached out his hand and caught him. "You of little faith, " he said, "why did you doubt? "
And when they climbed into the boat, the wind died down.Then those who were in the boat worshiped him, saying, "Truly you are the Son of God."
