Shipwrecked, but Not Lost!

Composer: Henry Gilmour, 1907

O ship­wrecked soul

far out on sin’s dark wave

With no help near

no life­line thrown to save;

No boat to launch

no crew with cour­age brave;

Thy only help is Je­sus.

Jesus has con­quered the storm tossed sea

Walked the wild bil­lows of Ga­li­lee;

He is the Sav­ior for thee

and me:

Jesus

only Je­sus.

O shipw­recked soul

no wave can drown the voice

Of Him who speaks to make thy soul re­joice;

’Midst tem­pest swirl

make Je­sus now thy choice;

Thy on­ly help is Je­sus.

O shipwrecked soul

He waits with pi­ty­ing eye

Beholding thee; He’ll hear thy help­less cry;

O ven­ture now

trust ful­ly

He is nigh;

Thy on­ly help is Je­sus.

Shipwrecked

not lost be­neath the crest­ed wave;

For Christ was near; that Ga­li­le­an brave

Who holds a scep­ter in His hand

will save;

Thy on­ly help is Je­sus.
