Ship of Salvation

(Verse 1)

On the rim of the storm where the dark waters rise,

Where the wind steals the breath and the fear blinds the eyes,

I was stranded and shaking, my strength nearly gone,

Till Your voice broke the thunder and carried me on.

(Pre-Chorus)

O Captain of mercy,

O Master of seas,

Your hand seized the wreckage,

Your grace rescued me…

(Chorus)

On the Ship of Salvation, You lifted me high,

Through the gale and the shadow, You silenced my cry.

Where the wild oceans threatened, Your promise held true—

My anchor unbroken, my courage in You.

On the Ship of Salvation, You’re guiding me home,

And I’ll sail in Your keeping wherever I roam.

(Verse 2)

Like a sailor uncharted, I drifted astray,

Chasing winds of my wanting, too stubborn to pray.

But Your lantern of truth split the fog and the rain,

And I saw the strong vessel You built for my name.

(Pre-Chorus)

O Shepherd of oceans,

O Lighthouse of grace,

You chart every sorrow

And heal every place…

(Chorus)

On the Ship of Salvation, You lifted me high,

Through the gale and the shadow, You silenced my cry.

Where the wild oceans threatened, Your promise held true—

My anchor unbroken, my courage in You.

On the Ship of Salvation, You’re guiding me home,

And I’ll sail in Your keeping wherever I roam.

(Bridge)

By the heather and hill, by the tide and the foam,

Your faithfulness follows, Your presence is home.

Though the breakers may roar and the nightfall descend,

Your mercy surrounds me again and again.

(Final Chorus)

On the Ship of Salvation, You raise me above

Every storm that would tear me away from Your love.

Let the waters remember—Your word is command,

For the King of the oceans holds all in His hand!

On the Ship of Salvation, You’re bringing me home…

And I rest in Your harbor, forever Your own.
