Have you ever noticed,
Or given it much thought;
Just what happened…many years ago,
Early in the morning…think on it, somewhat.

The Apostles were fishing,
Way out…in the briney deep;
And, here JESUS came walking,
Depth and distance…from them could not keep.

And, here was Peter,
Wanting to be close to Him;
Stepped out…upon the water,
Never gave a thought to swim.

Just like JESUS, he would walk,
Upon the waves…fearless;
And, well he did…too,
Until, he took his eyes off JESUS.

Such it is…still today,
Life runs rather smoothly;
Just so long as we remember,
To keep our eyes on JESUS.

We can walk upon the water,
Not sink into the deep;
Focused on our LORD,
On Him…our vision keep.

But, should we take our eyes off Him,
Then, we'll begin to sink;
Before we know it…we'll be struggling,
And, faster than we think.

Should we look upon Him,
Then, turn our eyes away;
A rocky time of ups and downs,
Our lives…in disarray.

Why be battered…'round about,
By the storms in our lives;
Focus on our Saviour's face,
And, the peace…He gives.

Let's keep our eyes on JESUS,
He'll bring us through the storm;
Help us walk upon the water,
Keep us from all harm.
