The Wind & The Waves

All you had to do was raise your hand

Speak the words, "Peace be still, "

And all the anger, all the fury 

Of that raging storm

Surrendered to Your will.


Even the wind and the waves obey

Why can't I, why can't I?

Where is my faith,

Is it lost at sea? 

Lord help me be

Like the wind and the waves.


When the storms of life take me by surprise

And my faith gets swept overboard

I hate it when I give in to all my fears

Instead of trusting in You, Lord.


Even the wind and the waves obey

Why can't I, why can't I?

Where is my faith,

Is it lost at sea? 

Lord help me be

Like the wind and the waves.


Lord, save me from my unbelief.

Save me, oh save me.


Even the wind and the waves obey

Why can't I, why can't I?

Where is my faith,

Is it lost at sea? 

Lord help me be

Like the wind and the waves.
