All my life I made decisions I was the captain of my soul I sailed on my own sea of reason Thought I knew which way to go But I was headed for destruction On the rocks of my own pride Then the Maker of creation Saw my desperate situation And He saved my life I found a better way In the Hand that leads me through the darkest night I found a better way In the One whose love is now my guiding light Jesus set my course for heaven He changed my direction Now I only need to trust Him and obey When He became the Master of my faith I found a better way When I trusted my own wisdom It didn't get me anywhere My strength and goodness only led me Adrift on oceans of despair But now that Jesus is my Savior I'm eternally secure And though the storms may rage around me Since the moment Jesus found me Of this thing I'm sure I found a better way In the Hand that leads me through the darkest night I found a better way In the One whose love is now my guiding light Jesus set my course for heaven He changed my direction Now I only need to trust Him and obey When He became the Master of my faith I found a better way I found a better way In the Hand that leads me through the darkest night I found a better way In the One whose love is now my guiding light Jesus set my course for heaven He changed my direction Now I only need to trust Him and obey When He became the Master of my faith I found a better way When He became the Master of my faith I found a better way
