I saw a ship a sailing
Across the crimson sea
The sunset and it's hews so bright
Gave forth an awesome light
Am I like that ship that's sailing
Going forth in life
And the sunset of ones life reveals
That which truly is our light
Light of Jesus shine so bright
Immerse my heart and soul
Reflecting of Your heavenly light
To guide safely through the night
I saw a ship a sailing
With Jesus at the helm
He bid me come and with Him be
As we sailed across the sea of life
Jesus is the helmsman
That will bring you safely through
For He alone knows the way to go
As He reaches forth imparting hope to weary souls
So look unto the anchor of our soul
Who'll bring us safely through
Our Lord and Savior Jesus Christ
Imparting hope as He reaches forth to thus renew
His love it knows no limits
His presence doth sustain
So look away behold His love and grace
And O the longing of His embrace
