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
