about

This song is for all those disciples who have dared to step out in faith into situations much deeper than they had imagined. When they encounter the waves of circumstance they panic, and the desperate cry of their spirit is a terrified “Lord save me!” At such times it is so comforting to find our Lord’s steady hand drawing us from the depths of our despair, and to hear His soothing voice saying “Fear not!” And, in case we are tempted to listen to the accuser’s disdain at our lack of faith it is heartening to realize that for every Peter there are eleven others who are satisfied with the safety of the boat, and never consider putting their faith on the line in an effort to walk in the footsteps of their Lord.

lyrics

When you took that step believing you were answering My call
Friends and fam’ly thought you foolish and your chances seemed so small
But when you saw the tempest and your heart began to sink
A desperate “Lord, please save me!” – that was all that you could think


I’ll be there when you most need me – I’ll be cheering just for you
I will never leave you lonely in whatever you may do
And when all you hear is silence it doesn’t mean I don’t care
When you’re longing for My presence, Child, – you know that I’ll be there


Now the storm around is raging, - it’s impossible to stand
This isn’t what you’d hoped for – not the way you had it planned
It’s a fearful apprehension and it takes your breath away
The overwhelming darkness leaves you longing for the day


Let your faith find its fulfillment as you place your hand in Mine
Through the darkness of the world around My light in you will shine
To a people who will praise my name for the love they will receive
As you tell what I have done for you many others will believe

(That) I’ll be there when they may need me – just the way I’ve been for you
I will never leave them lonely in whatever they may do
And when all they hear is silence it doesn’t mean I don’t care
When they’re longing for My presence, let them know that I’ll be there
