Galilee
I look out across the water and I can barely make Him out
standing a ways off in the distance.
My heart sings as I measure
the short distance my legs must carry me
so that I may melt in His inviting embrace.
There are those who stand close
who in the naivete laugh me to scorn.
For to them the idea of crossing the water
is impossible.
But I am full of so much light
if I but close my eyes i would begin to fly.
it matter not to me the physical impossibility
of the fragile surface carrying the load of my feet.
For He has taken my heavy burden
and lifted it off my sunken shoulders.
I am free and light. I am full of power,
a power much stronger than the forces of gravity.
If I but keep my eyes upon His glorious face
I shall not fall,
neither will my footsteps stall.
For I am following the prints He has left for me
among the stormy waves.
