"Faith in Doubt"

Our faith in God is easy when the

Waters 'round are stilled,

When the voyage undertaken finds

Our dreams have been fulfilled.

But holding on to God is hard

When wrestling with our doubt,

And when the storms are fiercest,

And our boat is tossed about.

It's then our faith is shaken,

When the Master's sound asleep,

Not knowing we are sinking, and

The waters 'round are deep.

We wonder then how He, Who's Lord

Of all the land and sea,

Could seem to be so unaware

Of our catastrophe.

It's when our faith seem weakest, God

Will calm the sea and soul,

And when we are most broken that

He'll touch, and make us us whole.
