Sailing On A Ship

Here are the words to a beautiful song by Phil Wickham. I think it identifies fairly well our journey with & to the Lord. Have you ever read Pilgrim's Progress? I haven't, but I read Little Pilgrim's Progress with my dad when I was a kid & am currently reading it with my kids. This song reminds me of Little Christain's journey to the Celestrial City.

Sailing On A Ship

A Voice is on the wind.
It calls me further in.
I'm heading deeper into Your heart.
Your mark is on my chest.
My sails filled with your breath.
You guide me by the light of the stars.



I'm sailing on a ship that's bound for life.
I wrestle with the wind against the tide.
I leave it all behind to reach for more.
I'm sailing on to Your golden shore.



Though skies go blue to grey
And I'm thrown from wave to wave
You still will hear these lungs singing hard.
With every storm I face
I find a greater grace
That pulls me deeper into our heart.



I'm sailing on a ship that's bound for life.
I wrestle with the wind against the tide.
I leave it all behind to reach for more.


I'm sailing on
To where the water's running sweet and bright
The sun is rising in the eastern sky
I leave it all behind to reach for more
I'm sailing on to Your golden shore.
