A leaf tossed by the sea, my fragile ship of faith is rudderless, and holds no course, turns with each passing wave: as once you walked on Galilee, steady my boat and rescue me. The prayers I try to make fall flightless back to me, imprisoned in the web of self which day by day I weave: as once you freed a madman's soul, break my soul's bonds and make me whole. Christ, help my unbelief, make strong my fearful heart, relieve my need to have control, teach me to trust and wait: as once you died to set us free, come, give new birth, new life to me.
