Verse 1:
Upon a ship out to sea one day,
there was a great and mighty wind and waves.
Twelve men and Jesus Christ the Son,
better known as the Holy One,
(were on this ship that was passed about),
(hard to steer couldn't change the route),
the winds were tough and the waves were high,
Jesus asleep in a room nearby.
('awent to wake Him, were the twelve I'm told),
(they were afraid of the storm and cold).
He arose and rebuked the wind and sea,
it became calm, You'll just have to see.
Chorus:
What manner of man is this,
even the winds and the waves obey Him?
What manner of man is this,
(that He would die for you and me)?
What manner of man is this,
even the winds and the waves obey Him?
What manner of man is this,
(that He would die for you and me)?
Verse 2:
Now in this life storms will come and go,
but there is something that you need to know,
that He's your shelter in the time of storm
He'll hold tight and He'll keep you warm.
(Now there's some nights that the rain will fall),
(and if it does you won't get wet at all)
'cause He's your shelter in the time of storm
He'll hold you tight and He'll keep you warm.
And when you feel that you are all alone,
just stand still and be strong,
just remember who controls your storm,
look to the hills from where your help comes from
Chorus
Vamp:
What manner of man is this?
What manner of man is this?
What manner of man is this?
What manner of man is this?
