Enticed Into the Storm

An earthen vessel, driven by wind;
I'm tossed upon rocks by waves of sin.
Patience as captain; I'm unsteady at helm.
I wavered in faith; I'm lost in thy realm.

Rough seas of vanity; temptations conceived.
Drowning my soul as the flesh deceived.
Thy word is the light; the Sun's burning rays;
For mercy and salvation in thy name I pray.
