16 Jun 00 - 11:33 PM (#243644) Subject: RE: LYR REQ: Help w/Song TITLE From: Ebbie Sailing Upon Life's Sea; * A Compass That Cannot Fail; Jesus Ever With Me Upon the Sea; My Rudder is Jesus; The Wind is Jesus; Jesus is My Compass; Ever On I Sail... I dunno, J'Som. Maybe more verses would make the title more obvious. Good luck. Ebbie |

08 Apr 21 - 01:44 PM (#4101399) Subject: RE: Lyr Req: Help w/Song Title-Chart & Compass From: Joe Offer Chart & Compass are essential elements in the song, and they are words that can't be mistaken. If the song doesn't include those words, it's probably not the song. I searched my bookshelves and cannot find my copy of Foursquare Hymnal, complete with a copy of the signature and fetching image of Aimee Semple McPherson, so I can't check out her "Sailing o'er the Sea of Life," that Q suggested. -Joe- |

13 Apr 21 - 07:50 PM (#4102128) Subject: RE: Lyr Req: Help w/Song Title-Chart & Compass From: cnd The song is "I'm Sailing On" by the inimitable Virgil Stamps. via hymnary.org: I am safely sailing across the tie, And my barque is breasting as on I sail; Knowing Jesus ever with me will be, I'm sailing on to eternity. CHORUS I'm sailing (yes I'm) sailing upon life's sea, I'm sailing on to eternity the raging billows now are pow'rless to harm my soul For my ship is (ever) under the Lord's control. I've a chart and a compass that cannot fail, I am shouting happy as on I sail; Knowing Jesus ever with me will be, I'm sailing on to eternity. Soon the harbor lights on the shore I'll see, With my loved ones ever at home I'll be; From the snares of sin I will then be free, I'm sailing on to eternity |
