Steadfast

Take my heart,

This ship at sea,
And firmly steer the oars,
Providing breath
To fill the sails
O’er gently rolling swells.

Guide my way

By truest light
On steady course to you
Who shows the path
Through stormy night
And all that threatens harm.
 

Keep me steadfast

On this keel,
No list to right nor left,
On par to reach
The promised shore
Where life abundant rests.
