    Sorry I’m a little behind! This week’s is a revison of one I wrote some time ago. As always, I hope you enjoy, and please critique. Also, if you’ve written any poetry you’d like to post, feel free! This thread it’s just a showcase for my material. I would like to see what you have too. 🙂

     

    Captain of Me
    The storm is raging
    The waves are caging
    There’s no way I can stay afloat
    I’m alone in my little boat
    I need someone who can be
    Captain and navigate this sea

    I hear You calling
    Through wind’s a squalling
    Call me, I will come take the helm
    I will guide out of waves that whelm
    Just let me have the control
    I’ll be the Captain of your soul I cry for lifeline
    There’s no way I can stay alive
    I need Him divine
    I will drown if life takes a dive

    Lord, be Captain of me tonight
    You will be faithful
    Storms might strengthen and may affright
    I may be woeful
    Lord, Your hands are able to steer
    Through these tides to Your sturdy pier
    Lord, be Captain of me tonight

    I surrender to
    Him who needs no crew
    To survive this stormy ordeal
    Put Your hand on this broken wheel
    I need You to ever be
    Captain and navigate this sea

    You will pilot me
    Safe to heaven’s shore
    You will pilot me
    You I will adore
    Lord, my Captain forevermore
