Who is This Jesus?

Who is this Jesus

that comes walking across

the storms of my heart?

Storms that threaten to drown me

as they have before

'Is it really You, Lord?'

Who is this Jesus

that calls me to Himself?


Who is this Jesus

who holds out His hand

in response to my question?

Who asks me to come beyond what I know,

to get out of the boat

that I've known for so long

to look at Him and not behind me


Who is this Jesus, 

whose eyes hold mine

whose hand holds mine

even as I start sinking

into those stormy seas, again?

He hasn't lost sight of me

He never has, He never did.

It was my eyes that shifted. 


Who is this Jesus, Who commands the storm?

Even the wind and waves obey Him,

even my wind and waves obey Him

Who is this Jesus

Who sends me out into stormy seas

and then comes to my rescue? 


Who is this Jesus

who is not afraid of the storm

because He is beyond it

in every way?

Who is this Jesus who says,

"Take courage!

It is I, do not be afraid"


Who is this Jesus, 

who calls me out,

out of that place of relative safety

into the safety

of arms that hold not just me

but arms that hold all my fears as well?

The boat is so familiar to me

and yet He is too.


Who is this Jesus?  

In the stepping out, 

I find Him to be so much more

than I have thus far understood

or known.


Who is this Jesus?  

It's only in the stepping out, 

that I will find out, 

find Him.  

Who is this Jesus?



Matthew 14:22-34

I Will Look Up and Live
