A Disciple Named Peter

Gale Eneberg

  1.                 D                   Bm                      G                        A
    A disciple named Peter once walked on the water
    D                        Bm                Em         A
    From a ship on a dark stormy night.
    D                                     Bm             Em                   A
    He walked toward the Master on top of the water
    D                    G                   A                      D
    But he started to sink and he cried out in fright.
    D                 F#m                      G                   A
    “Oh Lord save me!” he cried out in fright,
    D                  G                      A                   D
    For he started to sink on that dark stormy night.
  2. Then the hand of the Master saved him from the water
    Who had feared both the wind and the waves.
    And the Lord said to Peter on top of the water,
    “Oh why did you doubt? You have so little faith.
    You will sink if you give into doubt,
    But you’ll stay up on top when your faith wins out.”
  3. To walk on the water, to walk and not falter,
    There is one certain thing you must do.
    Keep your eyes on the Master and not on the water,
    Don’t look at the storm or you’ll start to fall through.
    Walk in faith and you will not go down,
    But if you should falter he won’t let you drown.
  4. Now like the disciple we find in the Bible
    You can do the impossible thing.
    But if you should doubt, you’ll never find out
    All the wonderful miracles faith can bring.
    You can do the impossible thing
    And see all the miracles faith will bring!
