When sailing on the ocean
One can term the sea of life
Calm waters soothe my vessel
Sea breezes softly blow
But when storms rise
Lifting waves up high
Storms touching me
Buffeted, blown
Driven off my course
Damaged by wind and rain
Where our way is lost
Lighthouse near the shore
Seen you there before
Shine your light to see
Keep me from the rocks
Where on tempest tossed
And hope sometimes lost
Let your light shine
In that midnight hour
When our lives are struggling
With issues deep and diverse
Holding to a fraying rope
Til the troubles past
For the wind must ease
And the rain of life must end
Cannot rain forever
Theres a rainbow somewhere near
Till the morning come
We pick up once again
As we journey on the sea.
