Our Refuge and our Strength by Morgan Weistling inspired me to write this poem. I wrote it from the point of view of Peter, who had the amazing experience of actually walking on water to meet Jesus. My daughter also wrote a poem inspired by this piece, which is in our own home.

 

“Peter and Jesus”

 

I was walking on water,

As light as air

Walking on water,

The wind in my hair

 

He told me to meet Him,

He called me to come,

I wanted to reach Him,

Jesus the Son

 

The waves rocked beneath me,

The tempest was rough

Boisterous winds

Made walking real tough

 

I wasn’t so light now,

And started to doubt

How could I do this

With such turmoil about?

 

For a moment I faltered,

And looked down beneath

My doubt turned to fear,

And I started to sink

 

Starting to panic,

I knew I would drown

Suddenly I felt it,

His hand reaching down

 

He reached down and saved me,

And brought me above

From the storm and my doubts,

His eyes filled with such love

 

Thank you, dear Jesus,

For pulling me out,

Forgive me dear Lord

For my fears and my doubts

 

I was walking on water,

My savior so near

I didn’t know then,

I had nothing to fear
