Verse 1
A                         D 
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 
      A                          E 
And rock this ship of mine 
              A 
But the reason my ship has never sank 
            D                  A 
And today it’s still afloat 
 
My compass is His precious Word 
        E                       A 
And Jesus pilots my Ship. 
 
Chorus
         D 
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 
        D                       A 
On a glorious one way trip 
 
We’ll land safely on shore to sail no more 
       E                        A 
For Jesus pilots my ship 
 
Verse 2
A                         D 
My soul pulled in to safety’s port 
        A 
The stern was torn apart 
                                                 D 
The bow of my vessel was so badly crushed 
      A                          E 
Sin waters’ flooded my heart 
              A 
I had sailed so long on life’s angry waves 
               D                        A 
With my cargo of fear and despair 
Then I called on His name and He lifted the blame 
               E                              A 
Now He pilots my ship everywhere 
 
Chorus
         D 
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 
        D                       A 
On a glorious one way trip 
 
We’ll land safely on shore to sail no more 
       E                        A 
For Jesus pilots my ship
