Captain of my life and soul
Across these turbulent waters
even in the raging storms of life
when all seems to be going wrong
still you lead me safely on

Still you lead me
when i know that i have lost control
having rebelled
against your silent calls to my soul
when i feel i've been left alone
Your strong hands, they lift me up

Your strong hands
uphold me
gently in the valleys
as the thorns and thistles of life try to wreck me
as i choke
on sin and vanity
Yet, there beside me, you still stand to save me

There beside me;
in guilt, and in pain
and in shame
even when i rejected your name
there beside me with love
and with mercy
you remain
The Captain of my life and sweet shepherd of my soul

Captain of my life and soul;
to the still waters
and the eternal lights
to the abode of love and truth and life
Across these turbulent waters
yes, i know!
My Lord will lead me
safely home,
