The Man Who Calmed the Sea

See the stricken boat
As it is tossed upon the sea
Hear the fearful cries
That wake the man from Galilee
He stands before the raging
Speaks peace and harmony
Winds and waves obey
He is the man who calmed the sea

Hear among the crowds
A desperate father's anguished plea
"Heal my dying child"
He begs the man from Galilee
With words that banish sorrow
"Don't fear, but just believe
Daughter - live again!"
Commands the man who calmed the sea

And as she stands before them
What joy from agony
He's the Master and the Maker
He's the man who calmed the sea

Feel the bitter pall
That shrouds the hill of Calvary
High upon the cross
There hangs the man from Galilee
The earth it quakes with sorrow
The sky grows dark with grief
All creation mourns
To lose the man who calmed the sea

But, no, death could not hold Him
The stone is rolled away
For He's the Master and the Maker
He's the man who calmed the sea

Now I hear the call
That echoes down through history
“Come, deny yourself
Take up your cross and follow Me
Through every joy and sorrow
My grace is all you’ll need
Trust me in the storm
For I’m the man who calms the sea.”

No fear shall overwhelm me
For Lord, I do believe
You're the Master and the Maker
You're the man who calms the sea

I’ll trust You for tomorrow
And seek You for today
For You're the Master and the Maker
You're the man who calms the sea

I don't know if anyone reads this blog. I don't know if anyone that reads this blog is a Christian. But I don't really care about that right now because I need to express this.
There are moments in my life when I sit back and think about how amazing God is and how enormous his love for me is. It's usually just after reading something in the bible or listening to a song that I get this realisation; it's like a little of the cloudiness of human consciousness gets displaced and I see a little more of God's glory than I normally do. And it overwhelms me. I get so full of awe at how massive God is and how immense the gift of his son was that I can't control it and I just have to let myself be awestruck. It happened when I was listening to this song earlier on, at the parts I've boldified. I can't understand why I was chosen to benefit from this great plan, because I'm pretty worthless. I'm this tiny insignificant human that is so weak and fails at living for God so frequently. So why should I be the one to benefit from God's greatness, from Jesus's sacrifice? I literally cannot grasp it; I am so totally undeserving of what Jesus Christ did for me. But that doesn't erase the fact that he did it for me, personally. It's just so amazing that there is nothing in me that is adequate in praise, in love, in worship or anything.
I cannot express the enormity of what I am feeling right now. Just... the utter astonishment; greater love than I know how to deal with; such deep gratitude to Him.
I am totally overwhelmed tonight. My tiny human head can't handle all this greatness.
