Even when the darkest darkness covers me <br />when no compass can find its magnetic pole, <br />when there is nothing at all that I can see <br />You still beacon me to draw my very soul. <br /> <br />In the striking of destiny and chance, <br />Your power is still here, is still about, <br />in the worst of any circumstance <br />You still care when I am really worn out. <br /> <br />Through the aging of many passing years <br />with You at my side, I am unafraid, <br />as in all happiness and all my tears <br />You are constantly coming to my aid. <br /> <br />Wherever my life goes, whatever is my destiny, <br />Your consistent love keeps making me whole <br />and leaves all my choices totally free <br />while You steer my life, are captaining my soul.<br /><br />Gert Strydom<br /><br />http://www.poemhunter.com/poem/lord-you-are-the-captain-of-my-soul-in-answer-to-william-ernest-henley/
