We strain at the oars against an adverse
wind;
and you, Lord Jesus, come walking toward
us.
We may think ourselves anointed as kings,
but we find ourselves powerless,
and you come walking toward us.
Others may regard us as your slaves,
but you come walking toward us
and answer us with deliverance;
for you are the hope of all the ends
of the earth and of the farthest seas,
O God of our salvation.
