I was a sailor, I was lost at sea
I was under the waves before love rescued me |
Then he got into the boat and his disciples followed him. Suddenly a furious storm came up on the lake, so that the waves swept over the boat. But Jesus was sleeping. The disciples went and woke him, saying, “Lord, save us! We’re going to drown!” He replied, “You of little faith, why are you so afraid?” Then he got up and rebuked the winds and the waves, and it was completely calm. Matthew 8:23-26 NIV
He reached down from on high and took hold of me; he drew me out of deep waters. Psalm 18:16 NIV Deep calls to deep in the roar of your waterfalls; all your waves and breakers have swept over me. Psalm 42:7 NIV |

The flames were separated and stood over each person there. Acts 2:3 ICB |
