~ Jesus, Captain of Life's Sea ~ I have a friend in Jesus Who guides me through the gale A first mate and a skipper Who helps me to set sail. He offers strength and guidance A helmsman at the wheel An ever-steady beam of light A fortress made of steel. He’s the master of the ocean My refuge and my rock A harbor that I turn to My anchor at life’s dock. He’s a mighty sailing warrior A helping hand indeed A pilot through the churning waves He meets my every need. He’s the One I always run to When the waves won’t let me be The lighthouse that I turn to On a rough and troubled sea. He’s a smoothly sailing vessel A refuge from the storm The gentle breeze that sends me to An island, sweet and warm. He’s a brave and fearless skipper A shelter from the heat Water when I’m thirsty A vessel filled with wheat. He’s a sure and steady sailor My Captain on life’s sea No matter where I journey He goes along with me. Written By: Marilyn Ferguson© 2003 http://www.marilynspoetry.com
