We chart the course of our destiny
By setting our sights above,
Walking with God in humility
And with our fellow man in love,
For our vessels are weak and the storms often fierce
That threaten to shipwreck our soul,
And gale force winds of trouble and pain
Often batter and take their toll,
But keeping our eyes on the Bright Morning Star
The voyage grows clearer each day,
For He guides us to heaven’s beautiful shore
Calming storms that we face on the way,
And when we reach the heavenly port
And Christ calls us, “Beloved, enter in!”
How to thank the Captain of our souls enough,
We won’t even know where to begin!
