CAPTAIN OF THE STORM
by Bill Kochman
08-22-2024
Sometimes we become so very anxious,
And we worry about what may lie ahead,
That old Devil tries to fill us all with fear,
But we just need to trust the Lord instead.
Yet trusting doesn’t always come so easy,
Particularly when we begin to look around,
The world’s filled with all sorts of problems,
And for certain many dangers do abound.
So then exactly what is the right solution,
And how can we bring our hearts peace?
Is there an easy way to calm life’s storms,
So that the great waves of fear will cease?
Well, I am happy to say there’s an answer,
Which has been known for so many years,
It will remove the turmoil from your mind,
And most assuredly wipe away your tears.
Instead of looking around at the sad world,
You need to put your eyes just on the Lord,
Then though winds howl and waves crash,
On His ship He will keep you safely aboard.
While it will not always be smooth sailing,
Your holy Captain knows the safest way,
He’ll guide you through the rough waters,
And you will arrive at a much brighter day.
