A rudderless direction needs a new Captan
(Verse 1) I was born into the current, just a drifter in the spray In a boat without a rudder, let the river have its way The world was moving fast and I was caught up in the flow Ignoring every warning that told me where not to go Yeah, the water started churning and the rapids pulled me down I was reaching for a motor, just a breath before I’d drown I heard a voice inside me screaming, "Stop! You’re going wrong!" But the river was too heavy and the pull was far too strong. (Chorus) But then I heard about a Captain with an invitation grand He’s navigating waters that no man could ever span He reached across the whitecaps and He pulled me from the wreck Now I’m standing on the cedar of His high-powered deck He’s the Master of the river, He’s the Pilot of the soul I’ve traded in my drifting for the Captain’s full control. (Verse 2) Now those engines never falter, and they never lose their heat He’s cutting through the chaos with a power that’s complete I don't have to fight the water or wonder where I’ll be 'Cause the One who made the river is the One who’s steering me We’re heading for a harbor where the tide is always still To a port of peace and plenty, by the Father’s holy will With a life that’s built for purpose and a table set for friends Where the journey find its meaning and the struggle finally ends. (Bridge) It’s hard to change direction when you’re speeding with the crowd And the roar of every rapid makes the silence feel too loud But there’s a hand extended, there’s a ship that’s passing by You don't have to sink downstream, you just have to look on high. (Outro / Encouraging Outgo) So if you’re tired of the drifting, if you’re weary of the fight If you’re spinning in the darkness and you’re looking for the light— Don't be afraid to step out, don't be afraid to change your course There’s a Captain who is calling with a love that is the source Of every hope you’re seeking. He’s got room enough for you. He’ll take you to the Home Port where He makes all things new. Just climb aboard the vessel, let the old life drift away Your Navigator’s waiting. Let Him lead the way today.
