Lyrics:

Wave and wind tossing and turning our boat. Jesus, where are you? we wish you were here!
Why did you make us go on ahead? while you stayed to pray?
Jesus, we need you! Jesus, we see you!
Can this be a dream? Are you a ghost or a vision?
How have you come this way? Jesus, this can't be!
Is it you? What are you saying?
"Take courage! No fear!" You will be with us, you'll always be near.
Wave and wind tossing and turning our boat,
cannot keep Jesus from walking on water and he is here!
