All you had to do was raise your hand, speak the words,
"Peace, be still,"
And all the anger, all the fury of that raging storm surrendered to Your will.

Even the wind and the waves obey,
Why can’t I, why can’t I?
Where is my faith, is it lost at sea?
Lord help me be like the wind and the waves.

When the storms of life take me by surprise,
And my faith gets swept overboard,
I hate it when I give in to all my fears instead of trusting in You, Lord.

Even the wind and the waves obey,
Why can’t I, why can’t I?
Where is my faith, is it lost at sea?
Lord help me be like the wind and the waves.

Lord, save me from my unbelief.
Save me, oh save me.

Even the wind and the waves obey,
Why can’t I, why can’t I?
Where is my faith, is it lost at sea?
Lord help me be like the wind and the waves.

Lord help me be like the wind and the waves.
Save me. Oh, I want to be like the wind and the waves.
