I am as a ship in a storm.
I can see your light.
I have set all I have
on a course toward you.
I check my course
and I find changes made.
My flesh has drawn me off course.
Lord, I understand
the weakness of my flesh.
I ask that my flesh
be crucified, nailed down.
Then my life can come
into submission to
your will and your ways
and my course
will not be altered.
