I know the captain of the ship I'm sailing on. I know the destination that I'm heading for. And I pray that the wind is at my back, and the sun is on my face So I'll see a better land with God's amazing grace. I'm taking inventory counting up the cost, And if I keep my eyes on Jesus, I won't get lost. And I pray that captain of my ship will calm the raging seas. And lead me to a land where I can truly be free. There's got to be a better place where my heart can be at rest. As we ride on the wings of love; all nations will be blest. There's got to be a better hope when I come to the end of my quest, And I can lay my head where peaceful waters flow. My captain says He loves me just the way I am He'll take me where the lions lay down with the lambs There's a light that shines from the lighthouse that guides me along my way Where I'll see a better land where I'll be free some day. There's got to be a better place where my heart can be at rest. As we ride on the wings of love; all nations will be blest. There's got to be a better hope when I come to the end of my quest, And I can lay my head where peaceful waters flow.
