John 6 - It Is I

John 6:20 – “ But He [Jesus] saith to them, “It is I; be not afraid.”

“It is I,” our Savior said

To men so full of dread;

At His “Be not afraid,”

Their doubts were all assuaged.

“It is I,” He whispers yet

When our hearts today would fret;

And there’s no storm can ever

His presence from us sever.

“Be of good cheer,” He smiles*

When we’re cornered by life’s trials,

And somehow in our souls we know

He’ll see us through; our faith does grow.

I thank You then, my Jesus!

Your words bring peace and steadiness.

You’re with me every day and night.

I trust You with all that brings fright.

And since You love me, love me so,

May I to You a smile show.

We’re in this storm together, Lord,

And I rejoice in Your good Word.

*See Mark 6:50
