The Oceans of Today

There's water all around
My island of today
Deep billows of the past
That always seem to stay

Ahead I see the breakers
Uncertain whitecaps loom
The rising waves of futures
Speak loud of bliss or doom

I cannot stay here long
My island's ever sinking
Its quickly passing sands
Keep me often thinking

Then above the sea I glimpse
One unswayed by past or future
He's walking calmly toward me
And suddenly all is sure

He knows the hidden steps
With Him I walk above
His word can part the waters
His every act is love

There's water all around
My island of today
But I've no need to worry
For my Lord knows the way
