YouTube video: Walking on the Sea, hymn

Text:
Drained of strength and in despair, disciples rowed all night
In a storm upon the sea, the Sea of Galilee.
Clashing, crashing inverse winds in darkness without light
Brought the Savior from the mount, from the very heights.

Frightened when they saw Him come, perceiving not his form,
Jesus said, “O, it is I.” The boisterous waves were high.
Peering, nearing as He walked right through the raging storm,
Jesus said, “Be not afraid,” though nature then was torn.

Treading on the water’s edge and almost dawn that morn,
Jesus calmed the troubled men; his strength not at an end.
Talking, walking to the boat, disciples still forlorn,
Powers of divinity were seen as newly born.

“Of a truth thou art the Son,” the very Son who shows
Miracles engulf each heart when faith becomes a part.
“Of a truth thou art the Son,” reveals a witness grown.
Walking on the sea became pure testimony known.
