my heart is a boat
containing the supplies
for instant happiness
my family, my dreams
my will to do what’s right,
my hopes, my strengths
my everlasting hope
in grace of God
my heart is a boat
sailing the oceans of life,
bringing me whatever it contains;
my failures, my loss
my tears from lonely nights,
my falls, my darkness
my shameful kneeling
before the throne of God
my heart is a boat
the voyage goes across the seas
towards a distant shore
