Analysis of Master Of Your Sea



In the storms of your life
If you abandon ship you drown
It's best to ride it out
For God won't let you down

When the winds are raging
You feel you'll blow away
Hang to the calmer of storms
Kneel before Him and pray

When it rains till you can't see
You're beaten on every side
Ran to the caller of rain
You'll find a place to hide

Whe it thunders till you can't hear
God's voice will thunder above
Ran to the voice of all
He does you truly love

When there's lightning all around
The night becomes as day
Run to the brightest light
He will show you the way

It's best to stay with the boat
That's really the best place to be
Hang on for dear life
Remember God's the Master of your sea
