Darkness and night, day then night, I see;
wave then cloud on a stormy sea, - oh' me.
The suns' so hot, the moon so cold;
I'm all alone, tossed too and fro.
My strength is gone, the pain severe;
everything is lost I once held dear.
I'm caught up in misery and woe,
started drifting a long time ago.
Can I find help, someone to care,
someone who, my danger will share?
If God be real - could he be near,
of my plight and petition to hear?
I'll pray to him - might he hear my plea,
and undertake a rescue for me?
I have no recourse, I'm at my last breath,
only a miracle will save me from death:
The death of my soul, without remedy,
for all eternity down under the sea.
What is this presence I feel in the boat,
while losing the struggle to stay afloat?
Oh' what a comfort, this presence so dear,
bringing such mercy, to replace my fear.
Finally my misery changes to calm.
I dread, no more deaths melancholy psalm.
So, blow on o' gale, do what you will;
my flesh you can have, my soul you can't kill.
Mercy, at last, has been given to me,
and freed me from turmoil upon the sea.
Rom.8:18 " For I recon that the sufferings of this present time are not worthy to be compared with the glory that shall be revealed in us".
1Cor.15:55 "Oh death, where is thy sting; oh grave, where is thy victory?
