Walking on Water – v2

Unlike the others
huddled in the boat
afraid, frozen by the winds
the waves, crashing on the sides

Peter went when the Master called
walking on the water toward the Lord
fear when the winds would wail
crying for the Master’s hand

Trying to be faithful
to heed the Shepherd’s voice
a prelude for his work
once the Spirit
fell upon him in grace

Leaving the nets by the shore
following the Savior’s lead
leaving the boat
for the water’s skin
his faith enough to stand.

Called to follow in Peter steps
the rock upon the waves,
to serve our fellow man
in ways revealed by God

Each of us has a part
a gift to do the work,
to follow our Savior’s way
to pick up our cross and walk
