A Poem of Determination

"I'll Stay in the Ship!"

I will not quit! I CAN endure

The dark storms on life's sea.

I will not steer the ship toward shore:

I'll just wait patiently.

Until the time when I can see

A calm spot up ahead.

I'll trust the Captain of the Ship

And let Him plan instead.

He knows the journey better than I

He knows just how to steer

To keep the ship away from harm

And all the dangers near.

I'll trust in HIm! He knows what's best.

Why! He's traveled here before.

He knows just what should come to pass

To smoothe the storm clouds o'er.

I will not quit! I'll cast my worries

And my cares above.

I'll trust in Him and safely rest

Inside His arm of love.
