If Only

If only I had the faith to walk on water!   
If I had the faith to stand on rolling seas!
While all around me tempests tall are raging,
And winds are rolling billows all around me. 

If only I had the faith to touch Thy garment! 
If only I could grasp the trailing hem! 
What blessings would occur if I should follow?  
For those who believe, the signs shall follow them.

If only I had the faith to offer fishes!  
If only I could give Thee all my bread! 
You would bless me ten thousand times over; 
O, God, You have made living things out of dead. 

But Master, I believe that You are still with me
And I will look to You – I’m not afraid. 
The Shepherd of the flock is now here with me, 
And we know His power will never be stayed.
