Calming of the Sail's



Oh dear - no Java!!!!
Clouds
 
  
A ship with a journey
In the heart of the sea
In search of home port
Or land yet to be

The captain and crew
Like the heart and the mind
There are times that they scuffle
Times that their blind

Storm overhead
Rough water below
She rocks and she pivots
Hoping one day to know

When will this stop
My planks they do creak
With the stress of the ocean
Its a port I do seek

My sails they are ripping
My bow nearly down
Please make up your minds
Or put me aground

Time I have seen
And time yet to be
I don't wish to lie
Under the sea

Yet they still fight
Even worse it does seem
Then all the sudden
I am pulled at the seams

It is a great wind
It has filled up my sails
I can hear my mast cracking
The crew they all fell

Their eyes were all open
To what they have seen
As gods hand pushed me forward
Out of rough seas

A voice I do hear
Speaks to the captain and crew
End all this madness
This I tell you

I give you the currents
Filled with my love
Given as the wind
From way up above

Get ahold of the wheel
Bring the ship about straight
Look to the horizon
Look to your faith

Take this moment in time
The words I do give
You must work together
To save your fine ship

There's a port up ahead
Not far out of sight
If it takes you all day
Or takes you all night

I give you the heavens
I give you the stars
I give you your eyes
And I give you your heart

So open your eyes
And your mind it shall find
Your heart knows the path
Leave these troubles behind

As they all stare
Mouths open in awe
The skies are now clearing
As the sea slowly falls

A calmness has set
And all are at ease
As they work with each other
The great wind calms to a breeze

I hear a loud yell
From the crows nest above
The land there she lies
Its the land that I love

As they pull into port
They now finally see
All the gifts that were given
And the gifts yet to be

When the fighting had stopped
To let faith be the guide
They found all the answers
Being held deep inside

Now the ship is all tied
To the cleats on the dock
She sits and remembers
Of that time on the clock

When it all went together
Bringing ease to her soul
She now sits there smiling
As her life is so full
