Stay Atop, Don’t Flop

Cast not away your confidence
In the midst of wind and waves
Focus on the Master
Be steadfast, strong and brave.
Resist the fear and panic
Concentrate upon His Word
Know that Christ is faithful
Recall all you’ve read and heard.
Look not upon the circumstance
Through Christ you’re above it all
Maintain that trust in Jesus
And you won’t slip and fall.
Rely upon His promises
Deflect the darts of doubt
Declare victory in the crisis
Decree it’s all worked out.
For faithful is He that has called you
He won’t let you fail or flop
Maintain your grip on Jesus
And He’ll keep you right on top.

Matthew 14:27-31
But immediately Jesus spoke to them, saying, “Take heart; it is I. Do not be afraid.” And Peter answered him, “Lord, if it is you, command me to come to you on the water.” He said, “Come.” So Peter got out of the boat and walked on the water and came to Jesus. But when he saw the wind, he was afraid, and beginning to sink he cried out, “Lord, save me.” Jesus immediately reached out his hand and took hold of him, saying to him, “O you of little faith, why did you doubt?”
1 Thessalonians 5:24
“Faithful is he that calleth you, who also will do it.”
