Eleven men besides myself
In a boat both small and light
Pushed off for Gennesaret
In the first watch of the night
But a storm blew up at midnight
Coming hard down on the prow
We started losing headway
Shipping water stern and bow
When someone shouted loud
"Hey, look to starboard on the sea!"
The men screamed out in terror
At the form we all could see
A man was walking on the water
And we trembled, cried and prayed
But He stopped and turned and spoke to us
"It is I, don't be afraid."
I shouted out to Jesus
"If it's You, then call to me
And tell me now to come to You
And walk across the sea"
Without a second's thought
He looked at me and answered, "Come!"
My insides turned to water
My mind went blank and numb
