He masters the winds, the waves and tides

'˜God is able to make all grace abound towards you.' 2 Cor 9:8

Let’s try not to despair though life seems unfair

As we carry our cross of care

Mindful the Lord above views with compassion

And will help you to make it there.

He works things for good as we trust Him

And has offered to make His abode

In the hearts of all who rely on Him

On life’s short and troubled road

And so when storms come and distress you

Call on Him, it is never too late

The power of prayer shall go before you

Making those crooked places straight.

The secret of true joy is knowing

God is conscious of each little care

He masters the winds, the waves and tides

And in time your hurt will repair.
