1)
THERE WAS A SHIP ONCE FLOWING GENTLY DOWN
A STREAM THAT THE SAVIOR MADE
ALL THE DISCIPLES OF HI S WERE IN IT
SINCE TOGETHER THIS TIME THEY STAYED
BUT THE GREAT CAPTAIN WAS NOT IN IT
HE WAS A WALKIN’ ON THE WATER THAT HE MADE
ALL THE DISCIPLES BECAME A’FRIGHTENED
BUT HE SAID IT’S I BE NOT AFRAID
CHORUS
OH IT IS I OH IT IS I
BE NOT AFRAID BE NOT AFRAID
THIS IS THE REPLY THIS IS THE REPLY
THAT THE SAVIOR MADE THAT THE SAVIOR MADE
WHEN THE NIGHTS WAS DARK AND THE WINDS WERE BLOWING
STILL IN THE SHIP THE DISCIPLES STAYED
THEY SAW A MAN COME A’WALKIN’ ON THE WATER
SAYING IT’S I BE NOT AFRAID
2)
AREN’T YOU GLAD TO CLAIM A SAVIOR
THAT CAN CALM THE WIND AND SEA
WELL THIS IS THE SAME DEAR JESUS
THAT SAID COME UNTO ME
SO LET’S HOLD TO THE SHIP OF SALVATION
WALKIN’ WITH SIN THAT SAVING DAY
JESUS IS STILL CALLING GENTLY
SAYING IT’S I BE NOT AFRAID
3)
THIS IS THE SAME GOD THAT SPOKE TO BROTHER NOAH
SAYING BUILD AN ARK MY SON
GOING TO DESTROY THIS WORLD WITH WATER
SEE WHAT ALL THESE PEOPLE HAVE DONE
NOAH BEGAN TO WORK AND TO GATHER IN HIS PEOPLE
GOT IN THE ARK THAT HE HAD MADE
THE RAIN BEGAN TO FALL AND THE BOAT BEGAN TO FLOAT
GOD SAID IT’S I BE NOT AFRAID
