Noticing the Wind

He was walking safely walking
on the waters, the waves
fear, noticing the wind,
falling, sinking below the waters
Saved, caught by his hand,
lifting him once more
there for him, for all of us
his sacrifice, grace enough
to save the whole world
His hands ready
stilling the winds, the waves
saving us when we call.
