                                      The Lord is my Captain

                              The Lord is my cherished captain,
                                On His vessel my life isn`t vain,
                                  My faith in Him never wagers
                                 My trust in Him never shatters.

                                  I am bound for a long voyage
                              That calls for the shine of courage,
                                  I`m not assailed by any fear
                                  As to His words I do adhere.

                           He steers the ship to path that`s right
                             And resplendent with sparkling light,
                              Evades channels that are too tight,
                                    Arousing my inner delight.

                             My captain guides me stormy gales
                                As well as the tumultuous hales
                                  To surmount with tranquility
                                    And mind full of serenity.

                                 The darkness of the horizon
                                  Nor the depth of the ocean
                                 Does inspire in me any awe,
                                But instils my spirit with glow.

                               At my venturous journey`s end
                                 I`m delighted to reach a land
                           Where the spark of light ever shines
                                And the clime is ever sublime.

                                  It is a land that has no end,
                              Where everyone is a true friend
                              Where I and ego have no place
                         And lies off bounds of time and space.

                             I pray that His grace and mercy
                              Rest with me, and I am worthy
                               Forever to serve at His shine
                               And the Trinity that`s divine.
