He Walks on Stormy Seas
You make appointments if you need to meet
A doctor, or physician specialist,
Or a psychologist, to help get rid,
of problem deeply hid in fog and mist
It is expected that such rendez -vous
Will help to find the trouble source and bare
The spot that hurts, so doctors can pursue
The treatment of the patient in their care.
But Jesus has for all of this no need,
Lo! It is Him that does approach you first,
And any time you can with Jesus meet,-
The order is entirely reversed.
He calls and summons souls persistently
Begs them to let Him in to touch and view,
And heal the wound and illnesses for free,
Without appointments or an Interview.
He comes head-on,- and without waiting long
In ante-chambers of psychiatrists,
To assuage the hurt and right the wrong,
And sooth past hurts that linger and persist.
Such tryst will spare sick souls the fallacy,
Of couch, or trance, hypnosis or seance,
To calm the surges of the raging sea.
And billows of the psyche’s turbulence
Let this physician in with faith and trust,
Commit to Him your soul with confidence
Commit your future, present day and past,
He’ll calm the squalls and tempest’s vehemence
He will not pass you by, but stop and hear
Your pleas that rise from dark profundity,
But walk to His encounter without fear,
Who calms the tempest and the raging sea.
