Ship of Love (Lyrics)

Ship of Love

Verse 1

As ships on the sea create waves
Our words and deeds ripple outwards;
In the wake of a good man’s life
The waters of love run deep;
Dolphins leap and sunlight dances
In the waters where kindness dwells;
And though this world is an ocean to cross
Yet none of us go alone;
You have sent a friend to help us
Sail on the journey home.

Chorus

Take me on your ship of love
With your wings I’ll cross the sea;
Take me on your ship of love
Take me home to thee.

Verse 2

As raindrops sing to the river
And the rivers sing to the sea
As the ocean sings to my sweet Lord
My sweet Lord sings to me;
For the ship of love is a singing ship
With a song no tongue can tell;
As the flute is still and silent
Lying on the ground so long;
With your breath upon it
Lifts up its voice in song.

Chorus

Verse 3

As the bird wants nothing of this world
Has only the wish to fly;
So the spirit within us is simple
Yearning only to sail the sky;
For the ship of love is a flying ship
Can not be bound to earth;
When the song of love sounds along the shore
Where the sleeping dove does lie;
So the spirit within us wakens
And spreads its wings to fly.

Chorus (2X)
