Verse 1
Peter started walkin’, Out on the water
One dark and stormy day, But Peter started sinkin’
When Peter started thinking, About how he was afraid
Eleven disciples watched, As Jesus reached his hand to help
They saw it, it’s true, but they never knew
How walking on the water felt

Chorus
Get out of the boat
Start walking on the sea
Cause out of the boat
Is the safest place to be
When you’re walking toward the Master
He will keep you afloat
Don’t be afraid of the wind or the waves
Come on, come on, come on
Get out of the boat

Verse 2
Think of John and Matthew, Thomas and Andrew
All safe inside the ship, Maybe they were hoping
That they could keep on floating, But oh, the thrill they all missed
I know it can be scary, When you trust the Lord that way
But if you never get wet or in over your head
You can’t really call it faith

Chorus
Get out of the boat
Start walking on the sea
Cause out of the boat
Is the safest place to be
When you’re walking toward the Master
He will keep you afloat
Don’t be afraid of the wind or the waves
Come on, come on, come on
Get out of the boat

Repeat Chorus

Tag
Come on, come on, come on
Get out of the boat
Come on, come on, come on
Get out of the boat
Come on, come on, come on
Get out of the boat
