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.
