I thought I’d take a trip, a lofty sail

To get to know the sea and know it well

To float upon it’s royal azure swell

To travel with my troubles through the gale.

But soon I felt an inkling in the air

A storm would soon approach from who knows where

So from the sea I head with all my cares

Not wanting to release my burdens there.

Once on the land I face with open mind

The trials of the day, the usual kind

And pray to God that He would help me find

A better way to bow to His design.

For God knows best how much that we can take

His plan was made for us for heaven’s sake.

Though we may search for peace upon the wake

An ocean of His love is all it takes.
