Lift Me into Your Sailboat

Lift me into Your sailboat
Over the shining sea
To a land we call most holy
Of glorious majesty.

And let me feel the freshness
As the breeze combs through my hair
And kisses my cheeks with radiance
—a bride adorned so fair.

Open my eyes to the richness
As the sun glistens from the crest;
In the distance a whisper of angels—
Their voices I cannot resist.

And if the night comes upon me,
Then guide me with a star:
The light from Your Word illumines
The love— ‘til now, felt from afar.

Oh—
Do lift me into Your sailboat
Over the shining sea,
And in Your strength and glory
May Your Love envelop me.
Deb Borkert ‘96
