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

Continues after the ad
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
The bow of my vessel was so badly 
               D
crushed
      A                          E
Sin waters’ flooded my heart
              A
I had sailed so long on life’s angry
 waves
               D                   
With my cargo of fear and despair
     A

Then I called on His name and He 
lifted the blame
               E                   
Now He pilots my ship everywhere
           A


[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
