The skies were dark the other day
My compass had lost true North
I turned to face the wind away
Searched the horizon and set my course
A lighthouse blinks off in the distance
As blasts of wind break the waters anew
And doubt creeps into my weary conscience
Yet will and word with faith stay true.
And so my ship cuts through the ocean
With gusts and swell it shudders and rolls
My soul, it bursts with relief and emotion
As I pass the shadows and beyond the shoals.
At last some sunlight breaks through the shroud
With the calming waters of the harbor in view
I sail past the breakers and the sun through the clouds
As the dark skies and waters turn bright and blue.
The storm is behind me and fading fast
Tears rise up as strife fades into the past
The docks draw closer with help standing ready
With Joy, I realize my ship sailed steady.
