Jesus is In the Stern

JESUS IS IN THE STERN

When the storms close in around you, remember Jesus is in the stern. 

When the bills pile up with no way out remember Jesus is where you turn.

Jesus is in the stern sleeping because He alone knows

The storm is never as bad as we suppose.

As we cry out in fear screaming Gods name;

He simply says where is your faith, your fear is in vain. 

Did you not know I hold the world in my hand?

And we fall on our face in shame as we begin to understand. 

When panic unfolds in your heart 

Remember Jesus resides in your innermost part. 

He is right there sleeping in the stern of your soul

And He will awake and calm the storm, 

making you whole.

Jesus is in the stern and He knows what lies ahead. 

But he seems able to sleep and has no dread

So rest assured he will awake at the right time saying peace be still

And we will stand amazed at His word as we live in His will.

As they sailed, he fell asleep. A squall came down on the lake, so that the boat was being swamped, and they were in great danger.

The disciples went and woke him, saying, “Master, Master, we’re going to drown!”

Luke 8:23-24
