Walkin’ On the Waves – A Blues Song Based on Matthew 14:22-33

** In Matthew 14:22-33, Jesus performs one of His most miraculous signs—walking on water. After sending His disciples ahead on a boat and retreating to pray alone, Jesus approaches them in the midst of a violent storm. The disciples, terrified, mistake Him for a ghost. But Jesus reassures them with the words, “Cheer up! It is I! Don’t be afraid.” Peter, always bold, asks to join Jesus on the water. Jesus invites him to come, and Peter walks on the waves, but fear overtakes him, and he begins to sink. Jesus immediately saves him, questioning his doubt. Once they are both back in the boat, the storm calms, and the disciples worship Jesus, recognizing Him as the Son of God.

Matthew 14:22-33 (World English Bible - WEB):

22 Immediately Jesus made the disciples get into the boat and go ahead of him to the other side, while he sent the multitudes away.
23 After he had sent the multitudes away, he went up into the mountain by himself to pray. When evening had come, he was there alone.
24 But the boat was now in the middle of the sea, distressed by the waves, for the wind was contrary.
25 In the fourth watch of the night, Jesus came to them, walking on the sea.
26 When the disciples saw him walking on the sea, they were troubled, saying, “It’s a ghost!” and they cried out for fear.
27 But immediately Jesus spoke to them, saying, “Cheer up! It is I! Don’t be afraid.”
28 Peter answered him and said, “Lord, if it is you, command me to come to you on the waters.”
29 He said, “Come!” Peter stepped down from the boat and walked on the waters to come to Jesus.
30 But when he saw that the wind was strong, he was afraid, and beginning to sink, he cried out, saying, “Lord, save me!”
31 Immediately Jesus stretched out his hand, took hold of him, and said to him, “You of little faith, why did you doubt?”
32 When they got up into the boat, the wind ceased.
33 Those who were in the boat came and worshiped him, saying, “You are truly the Son of God!”

Lyrics: "Walkin’ On the Waves"

Verse 1:

Late at night, the wind howled strong,
The sea was rough, and we sailed all night long.
Then out on the water, through the stormy strife,
There came a man walkin’, the Lord of life.
Yeah, Jesus was walkin' on the waves,
With power in His voice and the sea as His stage.
Chorus:

He said, "Cheer up, don’t be afraid,
It’s me, the Lord, I’ve got you saved."
Walkin’ on the waves, with faith so tall,
Jesus is there when the waters call.
Verse 2:

Peter cried, "Lord, if it’s really You,
Command me to walk on this water too!"
Jesus said, "Come!" and Peter stepped down,
But the wind made him sink, like he was gonna drown.
Jesus reached out, pulled him up from the sea,
"Why’d you doubt, man? Keep your faith in me."
Chorus:

He said, "Cheer up, don’t be afraid,
It’s me, the Lord, I’ve got you saved."
Walkin’ on the waves, with faith so tall,
Jesus is there when the waters call.
Bridge:

The storm it ceased, the sea laid still,
In the boat, we knew His power was real.
The Son of God, the One who reigns,
Walkin' on water, breaking all chains.
Chorus:

He said, "Cheer up, don’t be afraid,
It’s me, the Lord, I’ve got you saved."
Walkin’ on the waves, with faith so tall,
Jesus is there when the waters call.
Outro:

Yeah, Jesus walks on the waves of our fear,
With just a word, the storm disappears.
When the sea’s rough and the night is long,
Hold on to Jesus, He’s forever strong.
