The boat was gently rocking,
rocking, rocking
The boat was gently rocking,
and Jesus was asleep.

The wind was blowing harder,
harder, harder
The wind was blowing harder,
and made a stormy sea.

The waves were rolling higher,
higher, higher
The waves were rolling higher,
and splashed against the boat.

The men cried "Jesus, save us!"
"Save us!" "Save us!"
The men cried "Jesus, save us!"
And He said, "Have no fear."

The wind was very quiet,
quiet, quiet
The wind was very quiet,
When Jesus said, "Be still!"

The waves were very gentle,
gentle, gentle
The waves were very gentle,
When He said "Peace be still."
