Unnamed Poem -- The Storm

The weather is stormy, 

But be of good cheer;

For where our God is,

You don't need to fear.

The sky darkens over,

The waves crash so high,

But don't fear, my child, 

For our God is nigh.

"Come, walk on the water,"

Calls Jesus, His hand

Outstretched in a call

To you on the land.

He knows you may worry --

Try not to, my dear,

For where our God is,

There can be no tears.

"Believe in Me for all,"

Says the Master, above,

"For you cannot fall,

If you live in My love."

"And straightway Jesus constrained his disciples to get into a ship, and to go before him unto the other side, while he sent the multitudes away.  And when he had sent the multitudes away, he went up into a mountain, apart, to pray.  And when the even was come, he was there, alone.  But the ship was now in the midst of the sea, tossed with the waves; for the wind was contrary.  And in the fourth watch of the night, Jesus went unto them, walking on the sea.  And when the disciples saw him walking on the sea, they were troubled, saying, It is a spirit; and they cried out for fear.  But straightway Jesus spake unto them, saying, Be of good cheer; it is I; be not afraid.  And Peter answered him and said, Lord, if it be thou, bid me come unto thee on water.  And he said, Come.  And when Peter was come down out of the ship, he walked on the water, to go to Jesus.  But when he saw the wind boisterous, he was afraid; and, beginning to sink, he cried, saying, Lord, save me.  And immediately Jesus stretched forth his hand, and caught him, and said unto him, O thou of little faith, wherefore didst thou doubt?  And when they were come into the ship, the wind ceased.  Then they that were in the ship, came and worshipped him, saying, Of a truth, thou art the Son of God."  ~ Matthew 14:19-28
