The Lord Of Wind And Wave Poem by Michael Walker

My captain is the Lord of Wind and Wave.
He mounts the rigging, and He hoists the sail.
He can make the wildest storm behave,
For in His Hands, no man can ever fail.

We were set adrift like castaways,
In the doldrums of these seven seas.
The albatross is loosed from one who prays,
For only terror brings us to our knees.

Ahoy, mateys! Land, ho! The boat's ashore!
Drop anchor now that we are in the bay.
We have never gone so long before,
Nor have we ever been so far away.

O Lord of Wind and Wave, Your life You gave
For me, that You may save me from the grave.
