In the midst of the raging sea There I was sailing The waves were pounding me Making me afraid And it seems That Christ has left me I no longer see Him, Because of my weak faith
Refrain: Jesus when He saw me Came to me quickly In my despair and darkness He opened my eyes When I saw Him I cried, “Have Mercy” He came to me quickly And had mercy on me
The sounds of the angry waves Agonized my ears Darkness of the creeping night Has threatened my peace And the tears Have not left my eyes And the peaceful sleep Had departed from me
Refrain
I took the oar and started rowing But my hopes have failed My weakness and my ignorance Brought more grief to me And my Lord At the shore sees me When will You come to me And restore my hope Refrain
I was in despair and drowning And my hope is torn I came to my beloved Lord Offering Him my tears When He saw me He had compassion on me He stretched out His sweet hand And dried my tears

There I was sailing
The waves were pounding me
Making me afraid
And it seems
That Christ has left me
I no longer see Him,
Because of my weak faith
Refrain:
Jesus when He saw me
Came to me quickly
In my despair and darkness
He opened my eyes
When I saw Him
I cried, “Have Mercy”
He came to me quickly
And had mercy on me
The sounds of the angry waves
Agonized my ears
Darkness of the creeping night
Has threatened my peace
And the tears
Have not left my eyes
And the peaceful sleep
Had departed from me
Refrain
I took the oar and started rowing
But my hopes have failed
My weakness and my ignorance
Brought more grief to me
And my Lord
At the shore sees me
When will You come to me
And restore my hope
Refrain
I was in despair and drowning
And my hope is torn
I came to my beloved Lord
Offering Him my tears
When He saw me
He had compassion on me
He stretched out His sweet hand
And dried my tears
