Walks on moon and water

Walks on moon and water

Don Franks

Jesus walked on water, so the holy bible writ
He did it ‘cos his mates off shore were getting in the shit
the waves of Galilee were up, the skies were dark and dirty
although it looked ok when they’d set sail around six thirty

aboard their craft the twelve disciples really were at sea
up on the bridge the water sloshed about up to the knee
they’d only got five life jackets, and two without a whistle
no flares were in the locker, just some wine and Paul’s epistle

On hearing his poor followers cry out in deep distress
Jesus resolved to save them from their self inflicted mess
He figured if he lost this lot his teachings might not spread
And Christianity, like God, might very soon be dead

So off walked Jesus to the boat – he had these real big feet
And self belief in bucket loads – he thought he was so neat
He really ran across the waves, the way you skip flat stones
In seconds he was on the boat, calming his buddies moans

So when folks say that Jesus never walked across the brine
I just say, you believe your stuff, and I’ll believe in mine
As far as I’m concerned old Jesus walked across the sea
More possible than Colin Craig ever getting a vote from me.
