Above the Waves

He stayed above the waves,
above the waters of doubt
while he stayed focused
Christ, on the water himself
Faith enough to venture out,
to believe he could
A moment of pure faith
defying gravity
only falling when he turned away

Saved, above the waves again
when he called out,
felt the hands of God
lifting him up
