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. |
