A hand outstretched;
heart filled with fear,
I do not even feel
thee near,
But then above the
watery deep,
Thou lifts me from my
shadowed sleep.
The cloudy doubts
that fill my soul
Are cleansed with
thine atoning pull.
I do not know how
this is done,
But fear is dead and
faith has won.
I look to thee and
hope arrives,
Reflecting from thy
loving eyes.
And when I cease my
faithless fight,
I feel the angels
left and right,
Lifting me above the
fray
To stand and fight
another day,
Till kneeling in my
sacred space,
I fall into the arms of grace.

Matthew 14:25-31; Doctrine & Covenants 6:36, 84:88; 2 Kings 6:14-17; Isaiah 40:29, 31; Proverbs 3:5-6
