Have you been riding in someone else’s wake
Taking in the scenic view
Coasting along in their dredged out path
Letting them do all the work for you?
You watch them navigate through shallow, murky, depths
White capping swells, a strong salty breeze
Even forging on through torrential rains
Head first into uncharted seas
Don’t you think it’s time
To sail outside their wake
To test the waters on your own?
Be the captain of your own ship
Make it or break it!
Take over the helm…right or wrong!
Stop listening to the gale force winds
They’ll howl and scare you
Play tricks on your mind
Make you think you should turn around
Follow along with the crowd
Behind
But if you’ll batten down the hatches
Secure your ropes and
Steer into
The gale force winds aren’t so scary
They’ll be the force
That is guiding You
Through Life’s uncharted waters
Providing you the power
To forge ahead
Through stormy nights
When the wind and darkness
Tempt to kiss the water’s edge
You can expect tossing and turning
The winds of change
Will blow forward…then aft
Just keep God at the helm
As you Captain your ship
He’ll chart your destiny, your future, your path
