I am the captain of my ship

Propelling it furiously on the move

When finished, there is waiting another trip

Ticking moments tell there is no time to lose

There is much more to see than the sea

Dolphins join to dance along

Whales bellow their own little song

As the captain I am in command of my ship

I alone can find the infallible land

I am always eager to guide my ship

There is no journey worthy to skip

Like the hungry lion eyeing the deer

Every trip is an exciting anticipation

 

When my ship runs out of power

It will be the anticipated hour

The new captain will have full control

For Jesus knows the way

Leave a comment

To guide me safely

The rest of the way
