Lord, I am here. ''" But, child, I look for thee Elsewhere and nearer Me. ''" Lord, that way moans a wide insatiate sea: How can I come to Thee? ''" Set foot upon the water, test and see If thou canst come to Me. ''" Couldst Thou not send a boat to carry me. Or dolphin swimming free ? ''" Nay, boat nor fish if thy will faileth thee: For My Will too is free. ''" Lord, I am afraid. ''" Take hold on Me: I am stronger than the sea. ''" Save, Lord, I perish. ''" I have hold of thee, I made and rule the sea, I bring thee to the haven where thou wouldst be. | Discover our Poem Explanations and Poet Analyses!Other Poems of Interest...A TOCCATA OF GALUPPI'S by ROBERT BROWNING A HYMN TO GOD THE FATHER by JOHN DONNE THE BOUGH OF NONSENSE by ROBERT RANKE GRAVES THE RELIEF OF LUCKNOW (SEPTEMBER 25, 1857) by ROBERT TRAILL SPENCE LOWELL LOVE LIES BLEEDING by CHRISTINA GEORGINA ROSSETTI ROSAMOND: KING HENRY'S SONG by JOSEPH ADDISON OFF MESOLONGI by ALFRED AUSTIN THE WANDERER: 3.
