Gaither Vocal Band - Master The Tempest is Raging Lyrics

Master The Tempest is Raging retells the Gospel scene in which a violent storm threatens the disciples while Jesus sleeps. The opening lines emphasize danger, fear, and apparent helplessness, using the dark sky and rising waves to express desperation. The refrain then turns from panic to confidence: wind, sea, evil powers, and human opposition all remain under the Master’s authority. The repeated command for peace becomes both the dramatic center and the song’s confession of faith.

The lyrics closely follow the language and action of Mark’s account, especially the disciples’ fearful question and Christ’s rebuke of the sea. Their wider claim that no water can overwhelm the vessel where the Master rests also reflects trust in divine presence during trouble. The song does not pretend that storms are harmless; it locates security in the authority of Christ. Repetition at the close lets calm displace fear as every threat is pictured yielding to his will.
