Capo 3rd Fret

Intro (D) (A) (D)

(*Follow pattern of last two lines of chorus)

(D) Just like a ship I set out to sea

With (G) no one to guide me a-(D)-long

Drifting along without directions

As the (E) waves grew fearful and (A) strong

I (D) wanted to show the world I could conquer

The (G) waves of life on my (D) own

But I soon found out I just couldn't do it

I'd never (A) make it a-(D)-lone

My ship kept driftin' in the mist of the ocean

And I (G) couldn't swim back to (D) shore

Burned and battered by the storms of life

Till it (E) couldn't take any-(A)-more

I (D) cried Master please rescue me

From (G) drowning in the (D) sea

I need you to guide me from the storm inside me

From all these (A) troubles set (D) free

Chorus

(D) There's a rescue Ship from the King's Harbor Shore

Better (G) get on board to-(D)-day

It's the greatest ship that's ever sailed

This (E) ships the only (A) way

To (D) rescue you from the storms of life

When you (G) just can't take any-(D)-more

*Jesus is the captain on the rescue ship

*That sails from the (A) King's Harbor (D) Shore

Brief Instrumental

(*Follow pattern of last two lines of chorus)

(D) When into my view I saw a great ship

It was (G) sailing upon the dark (D) waves

It moved steady and so strong

As it (E) quickly came my (A) way

With the (D) searchlight shining so powerful and bright

It (G) found me there just in (D) time

And I knew it was sent from the King's Harbor Shore

This old lost (A) sailor to (D) find

Repeat Chorus and end
