A poem that might be from St. Peter's viewpoint or maybe from someone more general. . .
I'm not afraid to follow
when my Lord walks on the sea.
I will step out of the boat,
Here I go now, Just watch me.


I'm not afraid to follow
Though the water looks quite deep.
I hope you're watching right now
From the boat you'll see me leap.


I'm not afraid to follow.
No, I mean it. I am not.
I will step out of this boat.
And you'll see the faith I've got. . .


I am afraid to follow.
I see that now and I think
Instead of pulling me up
The Lord should let me sink.

But the Lord won't let me sink.
He loves me. I don't know why.
He insists on raising me
So maybe now I'll try.

I am afraid to follow.
But I'll do it anyway.
Perhaps God will give me faith
And I'll be worthy one day.
