Command Me to Come (Matthew 14:28)


Command me to come
on the water.
One step before the other,
without sinking.
Strengthen my faith,
that the undertows
do not pull me under.

Lord, bid me the courage
to see beyond the storms,
to ignore
the dark clouds
building against the horizon.

And yet,
if after all Your words
have been spent on me,
still stretch out Your hand
to pull me up
when I am
of little faith.
