Tossed to and fro by the storms of life I was going my way through the darkest of nights Lost out at sea You came to me And You said gently Let me be the Captain of your ship Let me be the wind that drives your sails Through the storm and through the waves I will guide you safely home It's so hard for me to let go of control Hands gripped so tight to the steering wheel But You prove faithfully That You know the way And so I pray Lord please be the Captain of my ship Lord please be the wind that drives my sails Through the storm and through the waves I know that I am safe with You Now that You've taken the wheel My hands are free to help others in need Saving those souls who are drowning in sin And pulling them in So wherever you take this ship that's now Yours I know by faith Through the trials and storms That we'll make it through Because You know the way to a brighter day Lord please be the Captain of my ship Lord please be the wind that drives my sails Through the storm and through the waves I know that I am safe with You Through the storm and through the waves I know that You will guide me home
