Sail on, when the water gets high
Sail on, when the wind starts to die
Sail on, it’s just a matter of minutes
‘Til the ship comes to get us and we’ll all get in it

Sail on, when the water gets high
Sail on, when the wind starts to die
Sail on, it’s just a matter of minutes
‘Til the ship comes to get us and we’ll all get in it

Well, when we’re all born, we’re set out to sea
We’re looking for answers continuously
And when we all find out to Him we belong
We’ll watch for the sign to keep sailin’ on

Sail on, when the water gets high
Sail on, when the wind starts to die
Sail on, it’s just a matter of minutes
‘Til the ship comes to get us and we’ll all get in it

Oh, cast up your sails and let the wind blow
Jesus won’t ever let your ship lose control
Just keep your compass set on the Son
And He’ll guide us safely to His beautiful home

We can’t afford to throw our lives to the wind
We’ve got the Lord in control of our ship
And He’ll guide us safely in
He’ll guide us in
Sail on, when the water gets high
Sail on, when the wind starts to die
Sail on, it’s just a matter of minutes
‘Til the ship comes to get us and we’ll all get in it

Sail on, when the water gets high
Sail on, when the wind starts to die
Sail on, it’s just a matter of minutes
‘Til the ship comes to get us and we’ll all get in it
