Calm the Storm

By Dewayne Allday 10/20/2016

Calm the storm, my ship is worn,

My sinful sails singed and torn.

Slow the winds, that skew my path,

Turn it true is what I ask.

Remove the rocks, that tear my bow,

Give me wisdom – teach me how.

Bright my light, that weakens still,

Restore the oil, be it your will.

Strengthen my keel, rock to and fro,

Thicken my skin, I need it so.

Roughen my deck, slippery and wet,

Lighten the falls of this old wretch.

Peace be still, I listen now,

I question why, I ever doubt.

Brighten the skies, the clouds depart,

Lord strengthen and protect my heart.

Light by day and lighthouse by dark,

You are my hope, You are my Ark.
