9. Sailing with My Father

1 I can sail the roughest sea,
If I know along with me
Is the guiding hand of my Father.
Tides will have no fear for me
When I anchor in the lea
Of the loving heart of my Father.

Chorus:
Ahoy! ahoy! ahoy!
All aboard, who are coming aboard,
To sail with me and my Father!

2 I will learn to navigate
By temptation's open gate,
As I sail the seas with my Father.
He has sailed the course before,
Knows where all the breakers roar,
And they hold no fear for my Father. [Chorus]

3 Though I sail the sea tonight,
I'll be safe till morning light
In the loving care of my Father.
You need have no fear for me,
Though I'm on a stormy sea;
For I'll be safe with my Father. [Chorus]
