The disciples he sent out to sea;
They were huddled in the boat.
The storm was raging mightily,
And they feared it might not float
From the darkness Jesus came to them;
On the water he appeared.
Then they gladly took him in the boat
When his words had calmed their fears.
It is I, be not afraid.
For I am the one who made
This circumstance that you are going thru.
When the storms of doubt arise,
The sun's still in your skies.
Rest assured, I shall deliver you.
They rolled me slowly down the hall
Confusion seemed to reign.
(The nurses rushing to and fro)
Did they even know my name?
Then my Savior stood right by my side;
I could feel his presence there.
And the words he spoke brought peace to me
Though the rest were unaware.
It is I, be not afraid.
For I am the one who made
This circumstance that you are going thru.
When the storms of doubt arise,
The sun's still in your skies.
Rest assured, I shall deliver you.
And when it's time for me to go,
And I take my final breath.
I know he'll be there by my side
When the circumstance is death.
He has walked across the final sea;
He will help me to the shore.
And as my feet step out on Holy ground,
I will hear these words once more .
It is I, be not afraid.
For I am the one who made
This circumstance that you are going thru.
Don't you know, my precious child?
That I've waited quite a while
To show this, my heavenly home, to you.
