Jesus At the Helm

Jesus  at the helm
                                    Guides this ship toward 
                                        Heaven's Realm
                                    He leads to Glorious
                                             Light
                                    His children through
                                           The night
                                   
                                   Raging Billows mount 
                                             As hills  
                                         His voice lifts
                                       "Peace! Be still!"
                                   And the roiling waves
                                         Will cease
                                   To a gentle rolling
                                             Peace
                                 
                                       Jesus at the helm
                                Now guides this ship toward 
                                        Heaven's Realm
                                     He leads to Glorious
                                             Light
                                    His children through
                                           The night
                                    

Mark 4:35-41

Wind and Wave Obey Jesus
35 On the same day, when evening had come, He said to them, “Let us cross over to the other side.” 36 Now when they had left the multitude, they took Him along in the boat as He was. And other little boats were also with Him. 37 And a great windstorm arose, and the waves beat into the boat, so that it was already filling. 38 But He was in the stern, asleep on a pillow. And they awoke Him and said to Him, “Teacher, do You not care that we are perishing?”

39 Then He arose and rebuked the wind, and said to the sea, “Peace,[a] be still!” And the wind ceased and there was a great calm. 40 But He said to them, “Why are you so fearful? How[b] is it that you have no faith?” 41 And they feared exceedingly, and said to one another, “Who can this be, that even the wind and the sea obey Him!”   ~New King James Version
