Shipwrecked

THIS SOUL WAS LIKE A SHIP
ALL WRECKED AND GROUNDED ASTERN
WITH ALL MY SEAGOING JOURNEYS
WITH WEAR I'D TAKEN MY TURN

JUST LEFT TO ROT AWAY
WAS TOSSED WITH EVERY WAVE
MY THOUGHTS WERE ALL HELPLESS
HAD NOTHING LEFT TO SAVE

THEN ONE DAY UNLIKE OTHERS
JESUS CAME BY AND KNOCKED
HE WENT TO WORK ON THIS SHIP
AND GENTLY I WAS ROCKED

HE GAVE ME BRAND NEW SAILS
MY ROTTED HULL WAS MADE NEW
REPAIRED MY NAVIGATIONAL EQUIPMENT
AND NOW MY HEADING WAS TRUE

IN THE SUNSET I SAIL FOR HEAVEN
THAT IS WHERE THIS SHIP IS BOUND
EVER SINCE JESUS PASSED BY
THIS SHIPS NOT RUN AGROUND
