Lyrics

1. Jesus got in a fishing boat. Don't rock the boat, have faith!
At least that’s what Saint Matthew wrote. Don't rock the boat, have faith!
His friends, they crowded in with him, and off they sailed with hope.
Refrain
Have faith! Don’t rock the boat.
Don’t rock the boat, have faith!
Have faith! You’ll stay afloat,
you’ll stay afloat, have faith!
2. They didn’t have a chart or map. Don't rock the boat, have faith!
And Jesus was asleep in back. Don't rock the boat, have faith!
A long day’s preaching over and the sky had just turned black.
3. The waves grew high, they tossed the boat. Don't rock the boat, have faith!
“We’re gonna drown, can’t stay afloat!” Don't rock the boat, have faith!
“Jesus, save us!” Peter cried, Wake up, we have no hope.”
4. He raised his hand up to the sky. Don't rock the boat, have faith!
And to the waves, “Be still,” he cried. Don't rock the boat, have faith!
And suddenly the sea became at peace before their eyes.
5. “We’re sorry, Lord,” said Peter then. Don't rock the boat, have faith!
“It’s just we’re weak and sinful men.” Don't rock the boat, have faith!
Then Jesus smiled and said that he’d stay with them ’til the end.
6. When fear has got ahold of you. Don't rock the boat, have faith!
Remember that your God is true. Don't rock the boat, have faith!
Like Peter, we all fail at times, but God will see us through.
Final Refrain
Have faith! Don’t rock the boat. Don’t rock the boat, have faith!
Have faith! You’ll stay afloat, you’ll stay afloat, have faith!
Have faith! Don’t rock the boat. Don’t rock the boat, have faith!
