He Pilots My Ship

A                         D
The soul of a man is like a ship
         A
That sails on the sea of time
                        D
Storms may come and winds may blow
      A                          E
And rock this ship of mine
              A
But the reason my ship has never sank
            D                  A
And today it’s still afloat

My compass is His precious Word
        E                       A
And Jesus pilots my Ship.


[Chorus]
         D
I won’t sail these stormy seas no more
            A
Unless Jesus leads the way

I won’t ever drift so far from the shore
        E
I can’t hear what He has to say
              A
For I belong to a fleet that sails today
        D                       A
On a glorious one way trip

We’ll land safely on shore to sail no more
       E                        A
For Jesus pilots my ship


[Verse 2]
A                         D
My soul pulled in to safety’s port
        A
The stern was torn apart
                                                 D
The bow of my vessel was so badly crushed
      A                          E
Sin waters’ flooded my heart
              A
I had sailed so long on life’s angry waves
               D                        A
With my cargo of fear and despair
Then I called on His name and He lifted the blame
               E                              A
Now He pilots my ship everywhere

[Chorus]
         D
I won’t sail these stormy seas no more
            A
Unless Jesus leads the way

I won’t ever drift so far from the shore
        E
I can’t hear what He has to say
              A
For I belong to a fleet that sails today
        D                       A
On a glorious one way trip

We’ll land safely on shore to sail no more
       E                        A
For Jesus pilots my ship
