Today I Am Afraid

Today Lord, I am afraid

I know You are proud

Of the steps I have made

Beyond the safety of my boat

When I chose to be brave

Yet I find that today

Fear has darkened the steps

That I previously made

And I find myself sinking

Into that watery grave

Oh Peter, I understand

When confidence wavers

In the heart of a man

Under the pressure of fear

You can no longer stand

Yet in the midst of those waters

You reached out your hand

And found yourself grasped

Tight to the Son of Man

And I know that even today

As I struggle with fear

I may still reach out my hand

To the One who is near.
