Jesus,
wondrous water walker,
help us to be like Peter–
boldly asking in trust
to join you on your sea walk,
and then upon looking down
at the raging murky water
beneath his feet
became terrified
and screamed out
in a swirl of doubt and faith,
“Master, save me!”–
and you, Jesus,
did not hesitate
to reach down
and grab his hand;
for you are with us
in the wild, whirling, waves
of our lives,
and you are eager
and mighty to save.
Matthew 14: 28-31 Peter suddenly bold said, “Master if it’s really you, call me to come to you on the water.” He said, “Come ahead.” Jumping out of the boat, Peter walked on the water to Jesus. But when he looked down at the waves churning beneath his feet, he lost his nerve and started to sink. He cried, “Master, save me!” Jesus didn’t hesitate. He reached down and grabbed his hand. Then he said, “Faint-heart, what got into you?”
