Sailing Aboard the Master's Ship
Melita Catalina Warren 1949 (Kansas)
Our Master’s Ship is expertly manned,
Collaborative efficiently planned.
When the Master takes one’s hand,
Miracles happen, glorious, grand.
He built our house on rock not sand,
So, life grows poignant, never bland.
Saints perform in His cosmic band.
Come what may, united they stand.
God’s precepts we soon understand.
Servants deliver on each demand.
God’s children reject an ugly brand,
Unjust persecution they withstand.
On celestial shores tomorrow we land.
Onward! Upward! Under God’s command
