Stilling the Storm
He was worn out, exhausted, drained and spent
From Healing and from preaching on the road,
To cross the lake now was the Lord's intent
To visit the Decapolis by boat.
But soon a violent storm and gale arose,
And whipped the pitch dark lake of Galilee,
And threatened to submerge the boat and toss
The crew into the furious stormy sea.
He slept throughout the storm which He ignored,
The God-Man slept, - exhausted, drained and spent,
But behind weary manhood stood the Lord,-
The deity within a human tent.
He heard His scared disciples' shouts of fear,
God-Man - Theandric Personality,
And merciful divinity can hear
The cries of anguished man with empathy.
He'd slept profoundly during storm and gale,
But not through cries for help and for support,
When gales and devastating storms assail
He is the wide awake unfailing Lord.
The resting worn-out man gets up from sleep
As master of all Vessels, Stern, and Prow,
Commanding: " Hush!- be silent" to the deep,
Divinity aglow upon his brow.
He slept - a weary man throughout the gale
And tempests and the storms that howled and roared,
But praise Him praise! - He did not miss nor fail
To be the all sustaining Saving Lord.
