I was lost and all alone on life's dark and stormy sea
Tossed upon the waves of torment and agony
I cried ol lord up above help me find a quiet cove
When a voice from up on high in that storm there soon arose
Sayin sinner pick your head up steer the course that you are shown
Watch the guiding star in heaven it will safely lead you home
Though dark waters boil around you worry not you're in my hand
Let salvation be your beacon sail on to the promised land.
As I searched the sky above then there I saw the light
As the star shown even brighter how I gloried in its sight
With firm hands on the wheel I set course upon the star
Praising God that I had heard his sweet voice from afar
Sayin sinner pick your head up steer the course that you are shown
Watch the guiding star in heaven it will safely lead you home
Though dark waters boil around you worry not you're in my hand
Let salvation be your beacon sail on to the promised land
I praise God that I've been saved even more than I've been shown
Though we may have trials and troubles we should never feel alone
We're not born but just to die leaving trouble in our way
When he leads you from on high let His course be what you take
Oh He said sinner pick your head up
Steer the course that you are shown
Watch the guiding star in heaven it will safely lead you home
Though dark waters boil around you worry not you're in my hand
Let salvation be your beacon sail on to the promised land
Though dark waters boil around you worry not you're in my hand
Let salvation be your beacon sail on to the promised land
