RECITATION BY JOHNNY CASH:
D
In Matthew chapter fourteen
G
When the Disciples were in a ship
D A
In the midst of the sea being tossed with waves when the wind was contrary
G D G
In the fourth watch of the night Jesus went unto them walking on the sea
D A
And when the Disciples saw him walking on the sea
D
They were troubled saying “it is a spirit” and they cried out for help
G D G
But straightway Jesus spake unto them saying
D A
“Be of good cheer it is I be not afraid”
E D
And Peter answered him and said
G
“Lord if it be thou let me come unto thee on the water”
D
And he said “come”
A D
And when Peter was come down out of the ship
He walked on the water to go to Jesus
A G
But when he saw the wind boisterous
D
He was afraid and beginning to sink
A
He cried sayin’ “Lord save me”
C D G D
Peter was doin’ fine as long he had his eyes on Jesus
G
But when he look away at the rollin’ wave about
D A
He begin to sink
D
And immediately Jesus stretched forth his hand
G
And caught him saying “Oh thou of little faith wherefore didst thou doubt”
And in this life being tossed
C A
With trials and temptations
Em D G
We are very much the same as this Disciple
If we want to walk with Jesus
We must keep our eyes on Him
And not the pleasures of this world
CHORUS:
D G
Keep your eyes on Jesus
D A
When the tidal waves of trouble round you roll
D G
Keep your eyes on Jesus
D A D
He will calm the storms of life that toss your soul
(Song with Pam Tillis)
