Rescue me

Multitude fed; he sent the twelve away
by boat that night to cross the Galilee Sea
Dismissed the crowd and went up to pray
A strong gale arose, great waves filled the sea

The chosen rowed through the wind and wave
Tossed to and fro fighting not to sink
Near morning Jesus came walking on waves
A ghost they cry, not sure what to think

Lord call me, and on water I’ll walk out
Peter starts to him and begins to think
Strong winds and high waves filling him with doubt
Lord save me he cries, as he starts to sink

Instantly Jesus was there at his side
Reaching out his hand to rescue Peter
Both the wind and waves instantly subside
Like the disciples we all will falter

When life’s so cruel that a path can’t be found
And doubts drag me down, Jesus rescues me
When darkness becomes all I see around
Jesus fills me with light and rescues me

When salvation seemed lost, Jesus loved me
Choosing death on the cross to rescue me
And when time on this world runs out for me
Jesus will reach out his hand and rescue me
