Looking Forward

This promises to be an exciting week of sunshine, appointments, a concert, and a flight to a far away place.  I'm thankful for new beginnings.

I've been thinking about this song (the link tells the history) lyrics by Edward Hopper:

Jesus, Savior, Pilot Me

Jesus, Savior, pilot me

Over life’s tempestuous sea;

Unknown waves before me roll,

Hiding rock, and treach’rous shoal;

Chart and compass came from Thee;

Jesus, Savior, pilot me.

As a mother stills her child,

Thou canst hush the ocean wild;

Boist’rous waves obey Thy will

When Thou say’st to them, “Be still;”

Wondrous Sov’reign of the sea,

Jesus, Savior, pilot me.

When at last I near the shore,

And the fearful breakers roar

’Twixt me and the peaceful rest,

Then, while leaning on Thy breast,

May I hear Thee say to me,

“Fear not, I will pilot thee.”
