Everyone wants to touch this man.
Be his friend.
Jesus, who can do all this things—
Feed people when there is no food,
Heal people, who are sick and dying,
Evict the demons of mind and body.

Is this not the kind of Friend?
We all would like?
One who is always there
When we need a Friend.

Jesus tells the disciples
To take the boat across the sea
While he goes up to the mountain to pray
He slips away
Alone.

Just when he is most popular,
When everyone wants to be his friend,
To follow him
He sends his real friends away,
And walks by himself.

Evening sets
While Jesus prays
A nasty storm rocks the boat.
The hard winds of the night
Shake the boat and troubles his friends.
Their friend, Jesus, is nowhere to be found.

Just when we need a friend most
Our friend is not to be found
We are left to cast for ourselves
In the troubling waters of life.

As the morning light approaches,
The disciples are weary from the long night
Of tossing and turning.
A shadowing figure appears
Walking on the water,
“Is it a ghost”?
They cry out in fear!

Sometimes when everything is going wrong
It gets worst.
Nothing we do is right.
We feel frustrated and down.

Immediately Jesus spoke to them:
“Take heart, it is I, your friend, Jesus.
Do not be Afraid.”

Peter, the impetuous one, shouts
“If it is okay with you, let me come
To be with you on the waters.”
Jesus simply says: “Come.”

When the storms of life beat on us
And we see some glimmer of hope
Like Peter we seek a friend,
To be with in our moment of need.

Peter, forgetting all
But his desire to join his friend,
Jumps out of the boat,
Walks on the Water to him.
Suddenly he notices the wind and the Water
He begins to sink.

When we are really happy with ourselves
Being all we can be,
Pleased with friends and family
How time flies.
Suddenly we remember all our troubles
Notice all our ills
Our bubble bursts.
We sink back once more
Into our timely troubles.

Jesus reaches out his hand
Saves Peter from the sea and
Says, “Why did you doubt me,
Lose you trust in me?”

Jesus, our friend can
Once more
Pull us out of the sea
When we sink
When we doubt.
When the trouble waters surround us,
Our True Friend is always there.

Jesus and Peter enter the boat
All becomes calm
The wild wind ceases
The friends in awe say again:
“Truly, Friend, you are the Son of God.”

Everyone wants to touch this man.
Be his friend.

Feed people when there is no food,
Heal people, who are sick and dying,
Evict the demons of mind and body.
