The day of eternity is nearly here
My destiny ahead, straight and clear.
The sun of my fate is in decline,
But I know Jesus, He is mine.
The winds at war against the sea
Like sin battle-tossed within me.
A war of the many, with me as one
Thank God for the work of Jesus, His Son.
From each shipwreck in the voyages of life
I was led to the surface by Jesus, the Christ.
Fear of drowning in the depths of sin
My Savior delivered me, time and again.
Tears rise from heart to face
And I am thankful for all of God’s grace.
Soon my days shall be no more
Ah, ’tis straight ahead – Heaven’s bright shore.
– C. S. Craig
