Verse 1AD
The soul of a man is like a ship
A
That sails on the sea of time
D
Storms may come and winds may blow
AE
And rock this ship of mine
A
But the reason my ship has never sank
DA
And today it’s still afloat
My compass is His precious Word
EA
And Jesus pilots my Ship.
ChorusD
I won’t sail these stormy seas no more
A
Unless Jesus leads the way
I won’t ever drift so far from the shore
E
I can’t hear what He has to say
A
For I belong to a fleet that sails today
DA
On a glorious one way trip
We’ll land safely on shore to sail no more
EA
For Jesus pilots my ship
Verse 2AD
My soul pulled in to safety’s port
A
The stern was torn apart
D
The bow of my vessel was so badly crushed
AE
Sin waters’ flooded my heart
A
I had sailed so long on life’s angry waves
DA
With my cargo of fear and despair
Then I called on His name and He lifted the blame
EA
Now He pilots my ship everywhere
ChorusD
I won’t sail these stormy seas no more
A
Unless Jesus leads the way
I won’t ever drift so far from the shore
E
I can’t hear what He has to say
A
For I belong to a fleet that sails today
DA
On a glorious one way trip
We’ll land safely on shore to sail no more
EA
For Jesus pilots my ship
