'TIS
A STORM UPON
THE
WATERS
'Tis
a storm upon the waters
Tossing
hearts but 'to and fro'
Some
have yet for sweet surrender
-
Port or starboard, where to go ?
Many
souls have not THE Captain,
'Nare
a Lighthouse shines the way
Tho'
the hull it may be sturdy
-
Keep afloat another day
Oh
this world and all it's treasures
Shall
not e're to set you Free
If
you sail 'top stormy waters
-
Only Christ can calm the sea
When
your ship sails in to harbor
Shall
that harbor be a realm ?
When
you cast off for the journey
Is
it Jesus at the Helm ?
When
you capsize in those waters
And
your heart has beat it's last
'Twill
be too late for sailing
-
Without Jesus, you'll sink fast
'Tis
a storm upon the waters
And
this world has quite a 'crew'
But
if you Trust in Jesus
-
HE will gladly rescue you
Let
Him set the sail and bearing
Of
your ship; stern to the bow
No
more drifting o'er the waters
He
will guide you safely home
'Tis
a storm upon the waters
For
the wicked tides of harm
Let
Jesus be your 'Captain'
And
He'll lead you from the storm.
