Teach Me To Sleep
 |
| (Christ in the Storm on the Sea of Galilee by Rembrandt - found here) |
Water splashing,
How can you sleep?
Thunder roaring,
Torrents pouring,
Still not a peep.
Waves arising,
Agonizing,
Tossed to and fro.
Care uncaring,
Hope despairing,
Where shall I go?
Tempest raging,
Fear engaging,
Pond’ring the deep.
Jumping, sinking,
Calling, thinking:
Was I asleep?
Heart awaking,
Hope partaking,
At your command.
Waters rending,
Love extending
Your saving hand.
Demons hushing,
Stillness rushing
Across the sea.
Wind obeying
Jesus saying:
“Have faith in me.”
Future sailing,
Courage failing,
In safety keep.
Storm winds gusting,
Mercy trusting,
Teach me to sleep.
~Timothy Draper
