Get Off the Boat

Chorus:
Get off the boat, if you want to make things happen
Get off the boat, if you want to see God move
Keep your eyes set on the master when surrounded by disaster
Get off the boat when the Lord is callin you

Verse 1:
If I had to choose one hero from the bible, I’d have sat that Peter is the one
Even though he often was mistaken, at least he didn’t turn his back and run
Sometimes he was fearless as a warrior, sometimes he was scared just like a kid
Lets learn from his successes, and stay out of his messes
And get out of the boat like Peter did

Verse 2:
On the day of Pentecost he was a preacher, Peter won 3,000 souls for Christ
Jesus said He’d build His church upon him, and gave to him the keys to paradise.
He was the only one to walk on water, even though he somehow lost his way
Though he was in denial, at least he was at the trial
And that’s more than the other men could say

Verse 3:
I’ve often heard ole Peter disrespected, cause Jesus had to pull him from the waves
I wonder if I’d ever have the courage, to get out of that boat and walk on faith.
God’s not lookin for someone who’s perfect, He just wants you to go out on a limb
If you want to be a server, you don’t need no life preserver
Even if you don’t know how to swim.
