Mark 12:30 “Love the Lord your God with all your heart and with all your soul and with all your mind and with all your strength.” (NIV)*

 My life but a ship in the ocean

The Lord, Captain on deck

Guiding through waters wild or calm

He charts courses, knows what to expect.

………………..

May morning find me attentive

Heeding which way to go

Loving Him with all heart and mind

As well as all strength and soul.

………………..

May day’s end find Him still captain

Whether harbored or staying at sea

Sails flying high or anchors set deep

May all aboard love flow from me. 

………………..
