A Barca
Elias Maia
The Boat
I've been through bad stretches in this life
The waves of the sea of life have dyed me
Without hope, my heart
I then cried out to Jesus for salvation
Today I am a rescued boat
By Jesus she goes, well commanded
To the port of salvation she was guided
In the midst of the storm, I heard a voice
So beautiful and gentle and strong
It was Jesus
He took the helm of the boat
And led me to the port of salvation
Today I am a rescued boat
And by Jesus she goes, well commanded
To the port of salvation she was guided
Now in calm waters I sail
At the helm is my Jesus, guiding my life
Until I reach the heavenly port
Where I will finally be with my master forever
