[DC ITATION BY JOHNNY CASH]
D                             
In Matthew chapter fourteen 
G
When the Disciples were in a ship
                          D                                    A
In the midst of the sea being tossed with waves when the wind was contrary
 G         D                                        G
In the fourth watch of the night Jesus went unto them walking on the sea
                        D                      A
And when the Disciples saw him walking on the sea
             D      
They were troubled saying ?it is a spirit? and they cried out for help
            G           D                G
But straightway Jesus spake unto them saying
         D                 A                    
?Be of good cheer it is I be not afraid? 
      E         D
And Peter answered him and said
                     G                                                 
?Lord if it be thou let me come unto thee on the water? 

               D
And he said ?come?
      A              D
And when Peter was come down out of the ship
                                                    
He walked on the water to go to Jesus 
             A        G
But when he saw the wind boisterous
                                 D                           
He was afraid and beginning to sink 
                        A
He cried sayin? ?Lord save me?
                  C       D              G        D
Peter was doin? fine as long he had his eyes on Jesus
                   G
But when he look away at the rollin? wave about
    D            A
He begin to sink
         D
And immediately Jesus stretched forth his hand
                                     G
And caught him saying ?Oh thou of little faith wherefore didst thou doubt?
                                      
And in this life being tossed 
       C             A
With trials and temptations
    Em       D                       G
We are very much the same as this Disciple 

If we want to walk with Jesus

We must keep our eyes on Him 

And not the pleasures of this world

[Chorus]
D                 G
Keep your eyes on Jesus
      D                                A
When the tidal waves of trouble round you roll 
           D       G
Keep your eyes on Jesus
    D                   A             D
He will calm the storms of life that toss your soul
