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
