Boat cuts water, evening settles
Teacher asleep, cushion set
YOU WOKE ME UP FOR THIS?

Long day taught, sick walked out clean
Crowds fed truth, eyes had seen
Net men panicked, veterans shook
Wind got loud, courage took a look
Water climbed rails, hands lost pace
Fear spoke first, faith lost place
Ran to the back, voices pressed
“Teacher, wake, we are distressed”

You woke me up for this?
For wind and spray and noise?
You woke me up for this?
After all you saw and heard?

Jesus stood, no speech to men
Turned to waves, spoke once, then
Shut up. Be quiet.
Air fell flat, surface still
Storm obeyed, will bent fast
Nature checked, lesson cast
No comfort talk, no soft reply
Question cut clean, direct, precise

Where is faith when pressure talks?
Where is trust when surface rocks?

Speak to the storm, make it shut up
Word on command, rise up
Power was shown, pattern made
Sons of God act unafraid
Speak to the storm, make it shut up
Authority works, no delay
Same command, same way
Storms listen when faith speaks

Wind, stop moving.
Sea, fall silent.
Just one command.
Wind and sea obeyed.

Boat was safe before it calmed
Teacher present, fear disarmed
Faith speaks first, acts fast
Storms submit, questions pass
Power taught, example clear
Use the word, command is here

Do not panic, do not plead
Speak, and storms concede

Storms Concede
