Harbor of Life

Though I sail this wretched sea of life
I do not sail alone
A higher force keeps guiding me
To lead me safely home

Though my sails are torn and battered
I travel on my quest
This sea of life keeps tossing me
But still, I do my best

While drifting through this endless sea
I keep looking for the light
My journey has almost ended now
To a land with no more night

While tired and weary, I carry on
I dare not turn away
I can almost see the lighthouse
I can not go astray

Lead me home, dear light I pray
This ship can sail no more
I cast anchor in the harbor of life
Upon that golden shore
