When The Last Ship Sails

Lord I know I won’t be the first

To sail heaven’s sea of glass

But please dear Lord I only pray

That I can set sail at last

I know that I am not worthy

To sail when the first ship sails

For my ship still is floundering

And is tossed by the waves and gales

I am hard at work with bailing

Trying to keep the ship afloat

But the waves are towering o'er me

My ship such a lowly boat

I know I can reach the harbor

Where that ship to heaven embarks

But for now I just envision

An ocean that is full of sharks

My faith in Thee undaunted

I know thou won’t leave me behind

Though I arrive after most departed

One more ship will I there find

I know thou will calm the waters

And send me a westward breeze

But even should my ship go down

You will save me from the seas

You will come to me a walking

Upon the wave’s next crest

You will bring me to that harbor

With all the others so distressed

We will find there is one more sailing

To that glorious sea of glass

For though I was once unworthy

I will sail with thee at last
