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.
