SOLACE

SOLACE

Come down to Galilee, my child –
Come board the boat with me –
Come sail upon the fluted tide –
I’ll navigate the sea.

Come leave the sheltered beach behind –
Come watch the welkins breathe –
Come meditate on storms gone by
When I told waves to cease.

Come help me bring the daylight in –
Step out and follow me –
Come walk upon the water’s skin
With true theology.

Come wade upon a miracle –
Come take the hand I give –
With courage unequivocal
Forsake your fear and live.
