With An Eye Of Faith

***

When I was a child I tried to walk on water.

But walking on water was impossible for me.

So how do I know that Jesus walked on water?

And that He has the power to calm the raging sea?

With an eye of faith I can believe and understand

That if He were calling to me

I could walk to Him, and if I sank, 

He would save me from the sea.

How do I know that He is the creator?

How can I know he healed the lame and made the blind to see?

And how as the world seems now so full of darkness,

Can I believe in a light so strong it can light the way for me?

With an eye of faith I can imagine and believe

That Jesus made a butterfly for me;

Creating gentle winds and majestic mountains

And giving me light to see.

How in a world with many, many voices

Shouting about how they think that things should be

Can I hear the quiet voice of the Holy Spirit

Gently speaking of a Savior who came to rescue me?

With an eye of faith I can see Christ on the water

Walking through the waves to-wards me

And though the wind is raging all around

I can hear His voice calming me.

When I was a child I tried to walk on water.

And walking on water was impossible to me.

But now I know that Jesus walked on water

And with an eye of faith His power comes to me.
