It was a chill dark night,
I saw something that caught my sight,
Sailing in the middle of the sea,
I saw a man walking, but how could he?
Walking not on land, but on water;
As he came closer I could see better,
It was Jesus our master;
In fear and in joy I leaped;
Asking the lord if it was he,
“Yes”, he answered, and asked me to come;
I stepped out to walk, that was witnessed by some;
I could not believe my eyes because my faith was little,
I sank just then, before I could settle,
‘Lord, save me’, I cried, from a fall that could be fatal;
He caught my hand and asked,
Questioning my faith in him, that I basked,
Speechless was I, by that very thought,
A confusion that my mind could not sort;
The wind ceased and all of us praised,
Realizing that he truly is the ‘Son of God’,
Then I learnt a lesson, to put my faith in him;
