       D           G 
    Am I a soldier of the cross, 
       D              A 
    a follower of the lamb, 
          D             G 
    and shall I fear to own His cause, 
         D        A       D 
    or blush to speak His name. 



        G                           D 
On the sea (the sea the sea) of Galilee (of Galilee) 
   A                       D 
my Jesus is walking on the sea. 
       G                            D 
On the sea (the sea the sea) of Galilee (of Galilee) 
   A        A7             D 
my Jesus is walking on the sea. 

           D            G 
    Should I be carried to the skies, 
       D               A 
    on flowery beds of ease, 
          D                G 
    while others fought to win the prize 
        D                 A   D 
    and sailed through bloody seas. 


Chorus 

                  D        G 
    There shall I bathe my weary soul, 
        D               A 
    in seas of heavenly rest, 
        D              G 
    and not a wave of trouble roll 
      D        A        D 
    across my peaceful breast.
