The Storm

“Well”, Jesus said, “get in the boat;
We’re going to leave this place remote –
We’re going to the other side”;
And so they did – but what a ride!

About midway a storm blew up,
The type of storm that tests your stuff;
It looked like they were going to sink;
Said Jesus, “You need faith, I think –

“That is, so you can cross such seas –
One does such crossings on one's knees –
But hey-ho, that will come in time;
Here, take my hand, rely on mine.”

And so it is as we go forth
Through stormy days which test our worth –
“We’re going to the other side,
So – always – in My love abide”.
