Helping Us Through The Darkest Night Poem by Royston Allen

Waves filled the boat to their surprise
and fear of death was in their eyes.
Then through the storm a voice was heard
the encouraging voice of the Good shepherd.

He'd seen His sheep struggling with their fear
and came to comfort them and to draw near.
They heard Him speak the words 'Fear not'
and amidst the storm their fears they forgot.

'If it's You Jesus, ' Peter said to the Lord
'Bid me come to You, I'll obey your word'
Putting his fears to one side courageously
he stepped outside the boat onto the sea.

Sailing this earthly sea we experience fears
the storms of life can bring such tears.
But Jesus comes and joins us in our plight
and helps as we go through the darkest night.
