God my faithful Captain

​I call You faithful, Anchor of my soul,

For every promise kept while the heavy thunders roll!

Every need You’ve met, through the gale and through the foam,

Lord, I’m grateful for the hand that guides me home.

You were with me every knot, through the swell and through the dark,

And I’ll never forget the One who steered this bark!

​Heave away! For the Lord has been so good to me,

I can’t believe the love He pours across the salt and sea!

What a Friend we’ve found, in the hollow of His hand,

Better than any port, and stronger than the land!

So good to me! Aye, so good to me!

​I call You Savior, for the blood that cleared the deck,

For the mercy shown to a drifting, broken wreck!

I know that You are able, though the fog may dim my sight,

I don’t need to see the stars to know You are the Light.

When I think of how You blessed me, how You never let me go,

Through the crashing of the waves and the tides that ebb and flow!

​(Bridge - The Call and Response)

For every morning tide! (We thank You, Lord!)

For every open door! (We thank You, Lord!)

For every mountain wave! (We thank You, Lord!)

For every soul You save! (We thank You, Lord!)

You paid the heavy price that a sailor couldn't pay,

And I’ll shout Your faithful name until my dying day!

​What a Friend we have!

What a Friend we have in Jesus!

No, I’ve never known another like Him,

From the northern ice to the southern rim!

He’s been so good...

So good to me!
