My Quest

My life belongs to You O Lord
for now and evermore
because I have made that decision
to enter in that door
____
never again will I return
to go back to the past
my present and my future hope
is truth in it I’ll last
____
by conducting all my affairs
in integrity’s worth
this ship I’m in carried by faith
insures a haven’s berth
____
where all the cares of this world
confined to stay outside
in a sea of tumultuous waves
in Jesus I will hide
____
and that becomes my way of life
clinging to Whom I know
as the ship heaves and rocks about
my faith shall ever flow
____
for it keeps me afloat to live
each day one at a time
with rest in between I enjoy
at God’s table I dine
____
as we both share our company
God’s presence there is love
and that’s my quest to journey on
to our home far above
