Notes About The Poem

 

 

A Voyager

Based on  Psalm 23 NIV

Placed Second
Modern Version Psalm 23 Poetry Contest
Sponsored by Miranda Hawley

                        A Voyager

The Lord is my captain; I`ve faith in Him.
      He asks me to sit down in the stateroom,
He steers the vessel away from rocks,
      He comforts my spirits.
He leads me along the right routes
      To spare distress.
Even though I cross
       the deepest oceans,
No fear assails me,	
      As He`s my captain;
His shine and His brain
      Enhance my faith.

He steers amidst stifling stormy waves
       Without being encumbered by them.
He fills the ship with fuel;
      I am delighted.
I pray that His grace and mercy rest with me
      As long as breath I heave,
and I will be the Lord`s humble servant
      forever.
