Our Captain
Standing on the shores of life
Looking out over memories
I think of all that God has done
And the love He’s shed on me
Life is like the Ocean waves
rushing us to shore
With God to calm the rough waters
Our sails softly blow once more
I wander through this sea called life
wished some things I had changed
But through it all I only see
How God quieted all the rain
When I choose my life's ship to sail
And rough waters changed my path
The Winds of life softly blew my way
And God guided when I asked
He’s our Captain on Life's ship at sail
Following His compass to the shore
Always pointing the way and turning the tide
So life’s storms will blow no more
When His compass we fail to follow
Steadfast it points the way
And silently waits for our return
Sailing life’s ship to Him to stay
There is a cure for life's salty water
From sweat or tears or sea
I say it’s God for he wipes the tears
calm waters, with Him, will be
No need for feeling Blue in life
for our Captain will live on
The wind will always be in our sails
He will guide us to the Dawn
Through all this life of rolling seas
Our God is in control
If we make him our Captain He’ll turn our sails
To calm waters and blue sky's untold
