Squadron of Australia’s first naval fleet arriving in Sydney Harbour (Photo credit: Australian National Maritime Museum on The Commons)
I’m anchored at dock once again
with a battered boom askew
May your Spirit’s breath fill this slackened jib
with your wisdom and power – anew
Forgive me for such arrogance
and a foolish sailor’s pride
to vainly face huge swells at sea
with no Captain by my side
I invite You to hold the helm
and watch o’er starboard and port
I’ll submit as devoted deckhand
and each moment to You report
Ship’s keel now submerged in Truth
I trim the sheets – not alone
We’ll leave this harbor of solitude
setting sail through the passage Home.

Navigating life’s waters requires an able-bodied crew with a Captain who not only can sail by the stars – but made them too!
