Barnabas Little Faith Lyrics

Little Faith Lyrics

The night was black, the air was still 

 The stars refused to shine 

 Twelve men set out upon the sea 

 Their Master, left behind 

 The hours flew, the night grew cold 

 But still no shore in sight 

 The wind whispered a warning 

 In the third watch of the night 

 

 A storm came up on Galilee 

 The wind began to moan 

 The rolling sea grew angrier 

 Twelve men felt so alone 

 And suddenly they saw a shape 

 Come walking on the sea 

 A ghostly vision of a man 

 Where no man could be 

 

 The twelve men all cried out in fear 

 Perhaps they even prayed 

 But Jesus answered from the waves 

 "It's me; don't be afraid" 

 And Peter in his eagerness 

 Said, "If it's really you 

 "Just say the word and I'll come walking 

 On the water, too" 

 

 Then Peter stepped out on the sea 

 But he began to doubt 

 And looking down he felt afraid 

 And sinking, he cried out: 

 "Lord save me! Save me Lord!" he cried 

 And Jesus took his hand 

 "Oh ye of little faith" He said 

 As He helped Peter stand 

 

 Now if you have a little faith 

 Reach out, He'll take your hand 

 He'll save you from yourself and lead you 

 To the Promised Land 

 You'll never make it on your own 

 Your life's a stormy sea 

 Why don't you just reach out your hand 

 To the Man from Galilee
