"Calm to the Waves” | Fifth Sunday After Pentecost

Sing to the Lord

ZACHARY'S NOTES:

Stanza 1 // Though this one stanza may seem to be a trite retelling of this weekend’s Gospel reading, Scripture proves we need to hear this word more than once! Jesus’ calming of the sea [and storms of our life] are done in the same way - with His Word of peace. Christ both rebukes the waves and His followers in this weekend’s reading - “Why are you afraid? Have you still no faith?” This hymn addresses the true accomplishment of Christ on the Sea of Galilee - that his faithless followers are led to wonder - “Who is this?” This hymn provides an answer! Christ is the one - with the same Word of peace - brings balm to our hearts, fears to an end, and calm by His promise of peace.
