Lyrics
On the Sea of Galilee
The lyric stays readable and compact here; the note and related paths sit nearby so you do not lose the song while looking for context.
Am I a soldier of the cross,
a follower of the lamb,
and shall I fear to own His cause,
or blush to speak His name.
CHORUS
On the sea (the sea the sea) of Galilee (of Galilee)
my Jesus is walking on the sea.
On the sea (the sea the sea) of Galilee (of Galilee)
my Jesus is walking on the sea.
Should I be carried to the skies,
on flowery beds of ease,
while others fought to win the prize
and sailed through bloody seas.
CHORUS
There shall I bathe my weary soul,
in seas of heavenly rest,
and not a wave of trouble roll
across my peaceful breast.
CHORUS
