‘Tempestuous Seas’ by Rohini Sunderam

And when the time, oh Father, comes
To cross this life’s tempestuous seas,
Grant that my faith should not succumb,
Hold in the end still true to thee.

Let not the waves of doubt overflow,
Let not my skeptic mind then shake,
Let not the tempest through me blow,
And help me still to keep the faith.

Remind me, God, that I’m a child
And in your hands forever more,
Tempestuous seas will soon be mild
And I shall reach that promised shore.

Then in your arms I’ll finally rest
Safely upon your gentle breast.
