A Peter prayer-walk

This post is not about a prayer-walk I have done.
It is about the Lord Jesus walking
and impacting Peter, AND history...

And now I have to just go and walk a long way
to think about His amazing love for me

Art by Lillis Boyer

He came ... walking on the water
that dark and scary night
my heart jumped - I really got a fright
Later He told me that a believing son or daughter
will do greater works than He
but that night, I was so afraid
The wind blew hard and the water sprayed
as I sank, I cried: Lord save me!

He took hold of fearful, sinking ... me

I remember the first time we met
the toil and half a sinking ship - I was also wet
I said: Depart from me, I am a sinful man... and then
He said: From now you will be a fisher of men
I forsook all - even that miraculously broken net
Since that day He said, many times, to me:
Fear not ...

he wasn't there, when I followed at a distance
to say Fear not - as I warmed myself at the fire
telling them I do not know the man
Then He looked at me

His love for me is unending

Suddenly, from heaven, the sound of a mighty rushing wind
and there appeared tongues as of fire
and I remember the water
and I remember the fire
and I remember the grace
and i remember the love

and I dance in His glory

in the fire

on the water

and all fear is gone
