I've found relief
from the pain of this world,
use the word "redeemed".
Truly treasured,
my wrongs not measured,
what an honor -
He reaches out to me,
as to Peter, failing, falling,
to the Lord calling,
rescued from the sea,
brought in Love's surrounding arms
where we were all meant to be.

The book of Matthew chapter 14 in the Bible
28 “Lord, if it’s you,” Peter replied, “tell me to come to you on the water.”
29 “Come,” he said.
Then Peter got down out of the boat, walked on the water and came toward Jesus. 30 But when he saw the wind, he was afraid and, beginning to sink, cried out, “Lord, save me!”
31 Immediately Jesus reached out his hand and caught him. “You of little faith,” he said, “why did you doubt?”
32 And when they climbed into the boat, the wind died down. 33 Then those who were in the boat worshiped him, saying, “Truly you are the Son of God.”
