The River of My Life

Beneath the dewy sunrise
A streamlet could be traced
For in the glistening water
My vessel had been placed.
And as it drifted onwards
Through fluffy innocent dreams
The streamlet slowly widened
Revealing different scenes.
The creek grew swift and deeper
With rapids quite a threat:
The hidden snags and boulders
Could surely cause a wreck.
But then a Man in raiment
That glistened like the Sun
Called out to me "I'll help you
Until your journey's done."
I gladly let the Master
Pilot my frail boat
Through storms and calmer weather
We managed to stay afloat.
I do not fear the currents
Or whatever the future may bring,
For Jesus is my Captain
And I'm entirely safe with Him.
