IN THE STORM

In consternation they felt the narrow keel

Buffet upon the billows of the sea.

Where was the Master? And could He help achieve

A safer place, or help assuage their fear?

Where was the Master? They found He was asleep;

Whatever squalls could not disturb His peace.

At His rebuke the raging waters ceased

And at His word the calm became complete.

They questioned in their hearts Who this could be

Whose voice the elements owned as supreme:

Although the Friend who granted them relief

In Person Christ could say "I, I am HE!"
