Jesus Walks on the Water

 

 

 

 

 

 

 

 

 

Jesus Walks on the Water
(Tune: Ten Little Indians)

All the apostles were in a boat.
All the apostles were in a boat.

All the apostles were in a boat.
Out on the deep blue sea

The waves rose high and tossed the sailboat.
The waves rose high and tossed the sailboat.
The waves rose high and tossed the sailboat.
Out on the deep blue sea

The apostles thought that Jesus was a ghost.
The apostles thought that Jesus was a ghost.
The apostles thought that Jesus was a ghost.
And they cried out in fear.

Jesus said, “Don’t be afraid!”

Jesus said, “Don’t be afraid!”

Jesus said, “Don’t be afraid!”

“Have courage.  It is I!”

 

Peter said, “Lord if it’s you,”
Peter said, “Lord if it’s you,”
Peter said, “Lord if it’s you,”
“Tell me to walk on the water to you.”

“Come,” said Jesus and Peter walked on the water.
“Come,” said Jesus and Peter walked on the water.
“Come,” said Jesus and Peter walked on the water.
But then he started to sink!

Jesus helped Peter get back in the boat
Jesus helped Peter get back in the boat
Jesus helped Peter get back in the boat
Why did you lose faith?
