1 My life-boat is sailing across the sea of time
And wild the winds are wailing with doubt from ev’ry clime,
But Jesus is my Pilot, I do not fear the wave,
My faith is unshaken in His pow’r to save.

Refrain:
I shall not be mov’d, I shall not be mov’d,
The truth of the Gospel I have prov’d,
And like a tree that’s planted by the waters,
I shall not be mov’d.

2 My faith is unshaken in spite of many foes;
What God has undertaken the wise will not oppose;
He sent His Son to save us and on the cross He died,
My faith is unshaken in the Crucified! [Refrain]

3 There yet is a Power that saves from ev’ry sin,
‘Tis proven ev’ry hour when it has entered in,
I cannot keep from crying, “Behold! the Lamb of God!”
My faith is unshaken in His pard’ning blood! [Refrain]
