[Faith-talk] Reflections for 3-13-2011

[Joshua Lester]

"The Old Ship of Zion"
copyright, 1895, Cartwright, M. D. Towner, Daniel B.
Vs1: I was drifting away
on life's pitiless sea
and the angry waves threatened
my ruin to be
then, away at my side
I dimly described
a stately old vessel
and loudly I cried
"Ship ahoy!"
"Ship ahoy!"
and loudly I cried
"Ship ahoy!"
Vs: 2. The good captain commanded
a boat to be lowered
and with tender compassion
he took me on board
I am happy today
all my sins washed away
in the blood of my Savior
and now, I can say
"Bless the Lord!"
"Bless the Lord!"
from my soul I can say
"Bless the Lord!"
Vs: 3. Oh soul sinking down
on sin's merciless wave
the strong arm of our captain
is mighty to save
so trust him today
no longer delay
board the old ship of Zion
and shout on your way
"Jesus saves!"
"Jesus saves!"
shout and sing on your way
"Jesus saves!"

I hope you've been blessed by these lyrics. You can find the song on
Youtube, just type in "Hymn," "Ship Ahoy." There are many versions of
the song on there. Bless\ings, Joshua
