My child I call you near
Step out and come to me
Walk with me through this stormy night
My power will set you free
Walk with me on the waves
But lift your eyes to me
For though the water tosses high
I rule the restless sea
Walk with me on the waves
For I will hold your hand
My promises you will find true
And I will help you stand
Look always to my face
And there your comfort find
For I the Lord supply your strength
And give you peace of mind
Though darkness and the waves
Still wrap around your way
I am your light, I am your calm
And I will bring the day.
