Tune: Marching
(faster tune to 'Father, hear the prayer we offer')
Luke 8 v.22-25
**********
Jesus and the disciples they
Crossed Lake Galilee one day
They set out, but He was weary
As they sailed became sleepy
Storm of wind on lake descended
They to the boat attended
For it was with water filling
Great jeopardy did it bring
They came to Jesus, did awake
Him, said, Weather change did make
We are perishing, Master, see
Come and help us speedily
He arose, rebuked the raging
Of the waves, and calm did bring
For winds and waves ceased at His word
So disciples were assured
He said to them, Where your faith be?
They wondered, and said, Look, see
What manner of man is this, for
He commands nature too, sure
For even the winds and waves they
Obey His commands, so be
At His word, order when chaos
In the storms He helps e'en us

I started to feel sea-sick part way through .. so shall reserve my judgement until I feel able to return 🙂
Thanks N. You recovered? Beaten any eggs today?!
I love this story of Jesus, it begs the question "What do we really have to fear?" Great write my friend.
Thanks Bella. Now, Neville might be busy beating eggs. A random occupation there. lol.
