The soul of a man is like a ship
That sails the sea of time
The storms may come, the winds may blow
And rock this ship of mine
But the reason my ship will never sink
And today it is still afloat
My compass is His precious Word
And Jesus pilots my boat

I won't sail the 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
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 into life's safety's port
My stern was torn apart
The bow of the vessеl was so badly crushed
Sin waters' flooded my hеart
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 the 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
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 the 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
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
