about

"The Helmsman" has been featured on the first ever full audio recording of Saint Faustina's Diary Published by Marian Press.

lyrics

The barque of my life sails along
Amid the dark and shadows of the night
I am sailing 'pon high seas
And I can see no shore

The slightest storm would bring me death
Engulf my boat in swirling depths
If not for you watching my step
At each and every instant

Chorus:
Sail on, sail on
Sail on along
Fear not the storms or the evil one
For God will guide your hand

Sail on, sail on
Sail on along
Fix your course and remain strong
Sail on

Dread and terror does abound
But in my soul is peace profound
Tis deeper than the lowest ground
For souls with you won’t perish

Though hosts of dangers are made clear
None of them are ones I fear
I gaze upon the stars and steer
And bravely on I sail

(Chorus)

Bridge:
Amid the roaring waves I sail
And gaze like a child without fear
Because of you Lord Jesus you’re my light
Thus for the ship of my life to sail
So gently through the screaming storms
You must be my helmsman O my God

And if I reach most dire straits
With waves so high my grave awaits
I’ll then cry out and to my place
You’ll walk o’er the water

Then your hand will cover mine
We’ll steer the ship and tighten the line
All power strength and love are thine
I know you’ll see me through

(Chorus)
