He Said Come
- Mark Bainbridge
- He Said Come
Well I was there with the others in the middle of that sea
The weather had turned bitter, as bitter as can be
The water churned our stomachs as the waves tossed the boat
And terror gripped our pounding hearts, fear seized us by the throat
When through the spray a vision of a man upon the sea
We rubbed our eyes and stared for our minds could not believe
And then he said, ‘It is I, do not be afraid!”
I said, “Lord, if it is you, bid me come upon the waves”
And he said – “Come!” He said – “Come!”
Well I stepped out of that boat and walked with confidence
Upon that raging torrent, even though it made no sense
But then I felt the howling wind, and waves climbed all around!
Confidence gone, my FEAR grew strong,…it began to pull me down
I waved my arms about at the thought of being drowned
I called for help, but the wind snatched their very sound
And as the depths began to swallow me I felt
His hand upon mine saying, “Peter, why did you doubt?”
And he said – “Come!” He said – “Come!”
We climbed into the boat and the wind died to a breeze
The water calmed the waves were gone, the sea took its ease
We bowed before our Lord for the wonders we had seen
He looked at us with loving eyes, our hearts burned with belief
And he said – “Come!”
He said – “Come follow me, follow me!”
He said – “Come follow me, follow me!”
And he said – “Come!”
