My Captain Is Jesus Christ

 I was on-board a sailboat
headed to who even knows where
then suddenly a storm came
the boat was going to sink
The wind became more intense
every time raging more and more
Then my soul began to cry
in middle of that great storm

I have done all of the efforts
that can be done in human power
I thought with all my efforts
that I'd find inner peace
I struggled fought and I toiled
but then I gave up in defeat

And then suddenly I heard a voice
And it gave me peace within
And it said: “Do not fear,
This is Jesus the Savior of your soul

Christ is captain of my boat
Oh Christ is the captain of my boat
Oh I know that I will stay afloat
because Christ is captain of my boat

The boat of which I speak of
is this world of suffering
Many onboard this boat, 
they sail around aimlessly
So let's march on with the Lord
He's the Savior of our souls
He died for you, He died for me
And one day we will see Him face to face

Christ is captain of my boat
Oh Christ is the captain of my boat
Oh I know that I will stay afloat
because Christ is captain of my boat
 
Christ is captain of my boat
Oh Christ is the captain of my boat
Oh I know that I will stay afloat
because Christ is captain of my boat
 
Oh I know that I'm going to stay afloat
because Christ is captain of my boat


Far Beyond The Sun

Original Title: Aunque En Esta Vida (Mas Alla Del Sol)
Author: Emiliano Ponce

1. Although here in this life I may have no riches, 
Over there in glory I've a mansion fair. 
I was lost and lonely until Jesus found me 
He showed me compassion and saved me from despair

Chorus
Far beyond the sun! Far beyond the sun! 
Up there is my home, my home, blessed home, 
Far beyond the sun!
Far beyond the sun! Far beyond the sun! 
Up there is my home, my home, blessed home, 
Far beyond the sun!

2. So I travel onward, through the world I wander, 
Oft beset by trials, and temptations sore
But my dear Redeemer, though He tests and proves me, 
Yet will guide me safely to the other shore. 

3. Unto every race of the human lineage
Christ's able to give them salvation full and free
He went to prepare me a glorious mansion
fully built by His hands up over in glory

Have you heard the wondrous message?

1. Have you heard the wondrous message
of the coming of the Lord?
He will call the faithful to the other shore.
If you’ve made the preparation,
when the midnight trumpet sounds
He will take you to His home forevermore.

Refrain:
He’s coming! He’s coming! Behold!
The glorious event long foretold.
Pearly gates will open wide
for the saved and glorified,
Who will find a beauteous Eden now restored.
In triumphant song uniting
with the happy angel throng
They shall dwell forever with the Lord.

2. We will ascend to the heaven with the angels of the light,
and our loved ones, they will join us in the air.
we won't ever be asunder, in that city that's so bright
because we'll abide with Jesus everyday.

3. Then we'll visit worlds unfallen that have never known of sin,
and we'll talk about Christ Jesus and His might.
Who came looking for us sinners just to give us ageless life,
and we'll see the years passing by and by.

4. Then we'll see the ages passing without number year by year,
in eternal youth we'll live forever more.
We'll abide with Jesus ever with no sorrow, with no fear,
and we'll be under the shadow of the Lord.

Who are these in shining armor?

1. Who are these in shining armor
Whence the glory so bright
Ah they come from yonder city
Where Christ is all the light.

Chorus
Ride on, King Jesus, to victory ride on,
In glory and power and majesty sublime
Ride on, King Jesus, to victory, ride on
Till heaven and earth shall own Thee Lord
O conquering One ride on

2. Sing for joy ye remnant people
Your redemption draws near
Soon your trials will be ended
When Jesus shall appear

3. For the long, long night is ended
‘tis the dawning of day
See the conquering host advancing
They meet Him on the way.

4. Hasten on glad day eternal
Sweetest prospect to me
When the King in all His beauty
Forevermore I’ll see.
