Lord Jesus, give me peace amidst the storm. For the storms are raging around me;
My ship is being tossed by the winds on the restless angry sea.
When I feel as if my ship will crash and sink down into the watery grave;
I then look to You. You will steer my ship. You alone, can rescue and save.
When I feel as if I'm sinking and I am about to be overwhelmed and about to drown;
Reach down Your hand. Pull me safely up, and plant me feet upon the solid ground.
When the storms rage, speak to the winds around me and tell them; "Peace, be still!"
I will not fear the storms and the winds, for they shall obey Your will.
Grant me a safe journey as I sail along the sea of this earthly life;
Bring me through the storms that cause me both sorrow and strife.
Though the waters might get rough and the storm clouds gather and roll;
With Your steady hand, You will guide me on my journey to the heavenly goal.
Though the storms rage, and the waters will roll, I will still sail across the sea;
Through the journey, I will have peace. For I know that You will pilot me.
The storms will come, but the darkness cannot remove nor hide me from Your love;
I will stay the course, for You will guide me on the journey to the safe harbor above.
