Lyrics Verified by Editorial Team
I saw a sailboat slipping by on a glassy sea
Not a sound made as it moved effortlessly
I thought of You, Lord, and of Your love
And of Your plan for me
How You charted my course and set my sail
And blew me out to sea
Smooth sailing
Trusting in You, Lord
Smooth sailing
Resting in Your Word
And though storms may come and threaten
And though dark clouds block my view
It's smooth sailing, Lord, with You
Oceans of blessings carry me over troubled seas
Circumstances all around threaten me
But let the wind blow, because I know
You're the master of the wind
And I know that You love me, know You care
You're closer than a friend
Smooth sailing
Trusting in You, Lord
Smooth sailing
Resting in Your Word
And though storms may come and threaten
And though dark clouds block my view
It's smooth sailing, Lord, with You
Smooth sailing, Lord, with You
