Within Your Boat

 A wicked life of flesh and want

It holds no worth to me

You have given me your eyes, Oh God

So that I might see

If I were to seek my own

I would merely in flesh settle

The life you have inside your heart

Is a beauty unsettled

I will wait upon your shore

Your boat will sail me home

Others swim from the shore

Content to merely roam

But you offer a purpose

I take it as a gift

Through oceans of dying hearts

You raised me as a lift

Let us sail the seas

Your boat will retain

All other rafts I’ve seen and taken

Are voyages sought in vain

Spread the sail, I shall not bail

Content am I not to steer

In this boat, your words I wrote

And through them have no fear
