You are not a God of
darkness and chaos, dear Lord;
in our time of darkness, of
mighty rushing waters,
do you not care that we
may be about to perish?
And you answer, "Peace,
be still. With me
there is no partiality. All of you
have the same Master in
heaven.
Even in your distress,
the mighty
waters shall not overcome
you."

But [Jesus] was in the stern, asleep on the cushion; and

calm.
