[Intro - low lurch] Let us go over to the other side. The boat left shore; the Teacher slept. Then wind came down upon the lake, And black water climbed the boards. [Verse 1 - rising pressure] Master, Master, we perish! He rose inside the failing vessel, Rebuked the wind, rebuked the raging water; The roar folded into calm. [Breakdown - exposed question] Where is your faith? The oars hung still above the lake. What manner of man is this? Even wind and water obey Him. Fear and wonder crossed the water. [Verse 2 - broken meter] On the farther shore, a man came from the tombs, Unclothed, unhomed, driven beyond the chains. What is thy name? Legion. Many voices feared the deep before one command. [Post-Chorus - sudden clearing] The herd ran down; the city ran out. They found the man at Jesus' feet: Clothed. Seated. In his right mind. And fear filled those who saw him whole. [Verse 3 - restrained departure] They begged Jesus to leave their country. The healed man begged to go with Him. But the boat turned back without him: Return to thine own house. [Outro - testimony] Show what great things God hath done unto thee. Street by street he told the city What great things Jesus had done, And the shore remembered his voice made whole.

About the passage

Luke 8: Hearing is tested on the road and the water

The Book of Luke 8 begins by showing how the traveling ministry is materially sustained, then makes hearing the word the chapter's central test. The same seed meets radically different receptions, and Jesus quickly applies the point to light, family, fear, demonic bondage, chronic illness, and death. His mother and brothers do not gain automatic access through biology; family is described through hearing and doing. A storm obeys before the disciples understand who has commanded it. Across the lake, a man long driven among tombs returns home clothed and in his right mind while the surrounding population asks Jesus to leave. On the return journey, Jairus's urgent crisis is interrupted by a woman whose twelve years of suffering receive their own attention rather than being treated as delay. Then the report of death reaches Jairus, and Jesus continues anyway. The final command after the girl rises is almost startlingly ordinary: feed her. Throughout the chapter, proximity to Jesus is easy to observe; recognizing and responding to his authority is the deeper question.
