JESUS OUR HELMSMAN
Author(s): Aaron David
Songbook: Love Songs Songbook
KeyWords: Resting in the Lord,

Our life like a sailor's, sweeps through the night season,
And forward past billows, and white foaming reefs;
The struggle goes on, oft' contrary to reason,
But Jesus our Captain, removes all our grief.

Chorus:
With Christ as our Helmsman, in darkness and danger,
We rest in His keeping by night and by day;
He'll anchor our bark in that Haven up yonder,
And there we'll forget all the toil of this way.

If billows surround us and tempests rage madly,
We're nearer the Haven each moment that goes;
Soon sorrows and troubles that troubled us badly
Are all left behind in that ocean of woes.

Second Chorus:
With Christ as our Helmsman in darkness or danger,
We'll rest in His keeping by night or by day;
He'll anchor our bark in that Haven up yonder
And there we'll forget all the toil of this way.

The cold fog and darkness may cause us to languish,
But God's precious promise surrounds us with light;
The frail vessel struggles through seasons of anguish,
But Word comes from Heaven with strength for the fight.

[Repeat Chorus]
