Jesus, Savior, Pilot Me

 Psalm 31:3 For thou art my rock and my fortress; therefore for thy name's sake lead me, and guide me.

One of my favorite saying is, “Life is hard, but God is good”.


That’s why we need Jesus to guide us. We don’t know the way, but He does. 


As Author of Heaven and Earth and humans and animals and everything else;  He is qualified. 


Psalm 23:3  He restoreth my soul: he leadeth me in the paths of righteousness for his name's sake.


Jesus, Savior, Pilot Me

Jesus, Savior, pilot me,   —    Over life’s tempestuous sea;   —    Unknown waves before me roll,   —    Hiding rock and treach’rous shoal;   —    Chart and compass came from Thee:   —    Jesus, Savior, pilot me.


As a mother stills her child,   —    Thou canst hush the ocean wild;   —    Boist’rous waves obey Thy will   —    When Thou say’st to them, “Be still!”   —   Wondrous Sov’reign of the sea,   —    Jesus, Savior, pilot me.


When at last I near the shore,   —    And the fearful breakers roar   —    ’Twixt me and the peaceful rest,   —    Then, while leaning on Thy breast,   —    May I hear Thee say to me,   —    “Fear not, I will pilot thee.”


Edward Hopper  1871
