Ships Without Sails

Ships without sails

          There's a man walking on the water
          There's a man walking on the sea
          There's a man walking on the water 
          And he's calling out to me
          He said son I know you been drifting
          Like a ship without its sails
          But when life's storms are raging
          I have a peace that never fails
          So take my hand and we'll cross together
          This here sea of pain and tears
          Just lean on me forever
          And I'll calm all your fears
          I cried Lord would you save me
          Please don't let my boat go down
          He smiled and said I love you 
          And I would never let you drown
          As I reached out to Jesus
          I saw the scars he bore
          Then my life found true meaning
          Because I knew what they were for
          When we touch the hands of Jesus
          When we feel those scars from nails
          Then our lives will find their purpose
          And our ships will find their sails
