Matthew 8:23-27
Jesus Stills the Storm
And when he got into the boat, his disciples followed him. A windstorm arose on the sea, so great that the boat was being swamped by the waves; but he was asleep. And they went and woke him up, saying, “Lord, save us! We are perishing!” And he said to them, “Why are you afraid, you of little faith?” Then he got up and rebuked the winds and the sea; and there was a dead calm. They were amazed, saying, “What sort of man is this, that even the winds and the sea obey him?”
Lord of the skies, the hills, the sea
Of beauty and majesty
At home in the calm
and the storm
Teach us how to love and revere
the vagaries of the elements
and in them to glimpse you
commanding the waves
calming the storm
teaching us faith.
