“Lord, save me!” - This desperate cry from Peter follows just a few seconds after he boldly stepped out of the boat, full of courage, eager to copy the authority of his Lord (Mt 14, 30)

May the feet of God walk with you,
and his hand hold you tight.
May the eye of God rest on you,
and his ear hear your cry.
May the smile of God be for you,
and his breath give you life.
May the Child of God grow in you,
and his love bring you home.

Mag God´s Voete met jou wandel
en sy Arms jou omvou.
Mag sy Oog oor jou die waak hou
en sy Oor jou bedes hoor!
Mag sy Glimlag jou oorweldig
en sy Asem jou laat leef!
Mag jou Kindwees in hom wortel
tot sy Liefd´ jou huistoe dra!

Möge Gottes Hand dich halten,
seine Schritte mit dir geh´n.
Seine Augen auf dich blicken,
und sein Ohr höhr´n dein Gebet.
Gottes Blick erhell´ dein Leben,
neuen Atem schenkt er dir!
Du Kind Gottes bist gesegnet,
Gottes Liebe führt dich heim!
