I Cannot Walk On Water
By Myrtle Poor
I cannot cross the river
The waves are rising high
The storms of life are raging
With their troubles and their strifes.
I cannot walk on water
For I know not how to swim,
But with my faith in Jesus
I can walk the waves with him
Christ stood upon the water
With his hands outstretched to me
He said, "Come on child,
You can walk upon the sea."
I cannot walk on water
For I know not how to swim,
But with my eyes on Jesus
I can walk the sea with Him.
The world is like a raging river
With its darkness and its strife.
Many times we find we're sighing
From the problems in this life.
Christ is our mighty anchor
In our raging storms of life.
So I will throw out my lifeline
And walk the seas of life.
