stay the course

[theblessingjrn]

with patience: stay the course
keep the wind at your back
and sails open wide
though life's storms may come
and the sea torment and toil
though your ship may be
chewed up and spit out
you must rebuild and continue

this journey is marked with trials
entrapments the enemy lays in wait.
but most of all this journey is pure joy
the years of waiting
the years of following the compass; your heart
will pay off

and on that day your bride to be
comes walking down that aisle
for the beauty in her eyes you'd
walk ten thousand miles
and for the heart she bears of gold
that in your heart you also hold.
two in one you will be rewarded.
you stayed the course.
your ship was pure.
