(\'Now is eternal life\')
Mark 4 v.35-41
**********
When passing o\'er the sea
The sea of Galilee
A great storm did arise
Did them all there surprise
Disciples panicked, Jesus slept
In back of boat, yet control kept
They came to Him, Him woke
And words to Him they spoke
\"Master, do you care not
That we perish, our lot
Upon this wild and restless sea?
Help, save us here, this company\"
Then He from sleep arose
And His power He shows
Rebuked the wind, said, \"Cease\"
And to sea, \"Be still, peace\"
Silencing angry elements
They obey and His presence sense
For wind did cease, was calm
On sea still, healing balm
Jesus to disciples [said]
\"Why fearful, what appals
You, how is it that you have no
Faith? Believe now, and so faith show\"
They feared exceedingly
Said, \"Who can this man be?
What manner of man He
Who commands e\'en wind, sea?\"
He Christ the Son of God He be
Now and through all eternity
