A SONG…THIS BOAT IS MANNED BY JESUS

(verse 1)

Traveling down the sea of life

In a boat without the oars

Using just the word of God

To get from shore to shore

Storms arise as they do in life

We are tossed from side to side

We firmly stand on our Father’s word

And soon the storm subsides

(CHORUS)

THIS BOAT IS MANNED BY JESUS

HE’S THE CAPTAIN OF THE SHIP

THIS BOAT IS MANNED BY JESUS

AND I WANT TO TAKE THE TRIP

THIS BOAT IS MANNED BY JESUS

NO FINER SAILOR KNOWN

THIS BOAT IS MANNED BY JESUS

AND HE’S GOING TO TAKE ME HOME

(verse 2)

There are other boats upon the sea

With passengers traveling too

They have no word to stand on

No God to see them through

Their direction is uncertain

Their way is not so clear

Destruction is in their future

And their future it is near

(verse 3)

The Lord has made the way for us

The pathway is well lit

The charted map is in our hand

And He has made us fit

We stay on course and never stray

Giving God the glory

We will make our destination

And live to tell the story

(verse 4)

Passengers from boats that crashed

Are floating all around

We who know the word of God

Must help them to dry ground

Some would rather sink than swim

Although I don’t know why

When they could travel safe and sound

If they’d just give God a try

(verse 5)

So keep His word before you

As a lamp unto your feet

To shine and light the pathway

For others whom you meet

As the sea of life keeps flowing 

With all it’s ups and downs

Just keep your eyes on Jesus

And you are homeward bound
