As we set sail on a new day,
whether the waters are smooth
...or choppy
...may we trust in the One that even the winds and waves obey!
Matt.8:26
But He said to them/us,
“Why are you fearful, O you of little faith?”
Then He arose and rebuked the winds and the sea,
and there was a great calm.
the pounding of their waves,
and the tumult of the nations.
which is here today and tomorrow is thrown into the furnace,
will He not much more clothe you,
O you of little faith?
"You of little faith," He said, "why did you doubt?"
Today; no more or less is granted to our mortal barge
No one can sail spent seas or borrow morrow’s ‘Maybe’ charge
The weight of past or future’s freight will sink these jars of clay
If we attempt to bear life’s care not portioned for Today
Faith’s frigate forges forward where the shore is veiled in This
No one can see how near or far Hope’s sacred harbour is
But this we know; He goes before us and will not forsake
But promises sufficient grace for every breath we take
Ah, who has strength enough for more than today’s toil and tiff
Who can fulfill its call full-well while wearied with ‘what if’
And who has ever by some fretting threat of come-what-may
Been given more to muster or to master, than today
What good can we accomplish by peering into the mist
While imagination runs wild and fear clenches its fist
Lord, draw our eyes to You and as we do, shine through the fray
To refill joy where, ships ahoy, we trust you for Today
