Captain of my Heart
by Julia May

When the seas of life are tossing me
When the waves are crashing down
Upon my shattered, broken vessel
And I feel like I could drown

When I’m capsized from the turmoil
Bitter salt water falls from my eyes
The crimson tide a conquering force
From the total blackness of the skies

When I’m drowning in a river of tears
I call out to the Captain of my heart
He is the Mast that will support me
And navigate me back on chart

There’s no lighthouse on the horizon
That could ever shine so bright
As the One who holds the future
As the One who Is The Light

“Peace, be still My precious daughter
Come out of the boat, come unto Me
With your step of faith across the water
Behold, how I have calmed your sea”

My voyage through these life storms
Are but a breath to the Lover of my Soul
He’s the Captain of my foolish heart
He is and will be…….forever in control.

I can't count the times when The Captain of my own heart has been there for me through the storms of life. This is wonderful and so anointed. I enjoyed every line!

Beautiful words! This reminds me of two that I have written called "Show me the Way" and "Calm the Storm". It is so great that we have someone to rely on when we are going through the storms of our lives! I can't imagine going through all I have with out my Sustainer, my Captain, my Refuge, my Rock, my Lighthouse! Love Danette

“Peace, be still My precious daughter
Come out of the boat, come unto Me
With your step of faith across the water
Behold, how I have calmed your sea”.....Julia I needed these refreshing words today. In these words I find peace and hope in the midst of turmoil. Thanks for sharing this anointed poem. God bless you.

Julia, so many times in the journals of man, poetry and song has been written relating to the dangers and hardships of sailing the seas and oceans. This one by you is a great analogy referencing the daily experiences we face as we sail the seas of life, holding on to our Captain's hand, and keeping our eyes focused on Him. Good work. I feel the Holy Spirit was writing through you as you penned this wonderful poem of faith and praise and assurance. God bless.
