Gale of Life

Having mastered my life as I supposed, Then as the captain, now of my soul; I met with true stormy gale of the soul, In it all my resolve and mastery of life, Could not avail me any sustenance. Then I remembered the Lord of my life, And the shepherd of my soul, To him came I from the gale, When all he said was, ''Peace be still'', So peace flooded my heart to overflow. The great tempest stood still, And I now gathered my thought in me, Having assuredly with me the Lord, Who is the true captain of my soul, My Saviour and the Lord of my life. So I learnt that He cares for me, And is thinking in advance for me. For He knows all about my tomorrow, With His loving kindness, He shields me from all hurt.
