• Calming Seas

  I posted this a long time ago. It’s still a lovely poem.

  
  

  Calming Seas When Christ was in need of solitude When He needed peace of mind, He went out to the water, Where comfort He could find. When He saw the ship in trouble He was standing on the land Jesus walked on the waters To give His loving hand! When He fell asleep exhausted And a rain filled their boat with harm, Jesus reached out His mighty hand, and calmed the raging storm. When showing faith in our Father John baptized Him at the river So that all that saw and followed him From sin could be delivered. He told Simon and Andrew To go unto all the land Cast out your nets upon the sea Be fishermen of men. He will be my anchor My ship won’t drift away He will calm my stormy seas Cause gentle winds to stay! He will not leave me To perish in the sea For I know throughout my storms, My Savior stands with me! No wonder I seek out the ocean I turn to the calming sea Whenever I need healing Whenever my spirit needs to be free! ~Lynn King~
