My Ship of Life

My ship sails over life’s darkening main
Traversing lightning, thunder, and rain.

Through threatening waves goes the strong prow
As in deep prayer on bended knee I do bow.

My Bible, the rudder, a strong mighty force
Guiding, correcting and righting my course.

With daily devotion from God’s Holy Word
Urging me onward to serve my Dear Lord.

Christ at the helm of the ship strong and true
He’s the shipmaster, He captains the crew.
