He Pilots My Ship

The soul of a man is like a ship

That sails on the sea of time

Storms may come and winds may blow

And rock this ship of mine

But the reason my ship has never sank

And today it’s still afloat

My compass is His precious Word

And Jesus pilots my boat.

I won’t sail these stormy seas no more

Unless Jesus leads the way

I won’t ever drift so far from the shore

I can’t hear what He has to say

For I belong to a fleet that sails today

On a glorious one way trip

We’ll land safely on shore to sail no more

For Jesus pilots my ship

My soul pulled in to safety’s port

The stern was torn apart

The bow of my vessel was so badly crushed

Sin waters’ flooded my heart

I had sailed so long on life’s angry waves

With my cargo of fear and despair

Then I called on His name and He lifted the blame

Now He pilots my ship everywhere

I won’t sail these stormy seas no more

Unless Jesus leads the way

I won’t ever drift so far from the shore

I can’t hear what He has to say

For I belong to a fleet that sails today

On a glorious one way trip

We’ll land safely on shore to sail no more

For Jesus pilots my ship

I won’t sail these stormy seas no more

Unless Jesus leads the way

I won’t ever drift so far from the shore

I can’t hear what He has to say

For I belong to a fleet that sails today

On a glorious one way trip

We’ll land safely on shore to sail no more

For Jesus pilots my ship

He pilots my ship
