Pilot Me
Navigating Life's Turbulence with Faith: 'Pilot Me' by Awakening Praise
Lyrics
Jesus savior pilot me
Acknowledging Jesus as the savior and seeking guidance.
Over life's tempestuous sea
Seeking Jesus' guidance over life's turbulent challenges.
Unknown waves before me roll
Facing unknown challenges represented as rolling waves.
Hiding rock and treacherous shoal
Acknowledging the presence of hidden dangers (rock and shoal).
Chart and compass come from Thee
Recognizing that guidance (chart and compass) comes from Jesus.
Jesus savior pilot me
Repetition of the plea for Jesus to pilot the speaker.
Chart and compass come from Thee
Reiteration of the source of guidance from Jesus.
Jesus savior pilot me
Continued plea for Jesus to be the pilot.
As a mother stills her child
Comparing Jesus' ability to calm the seas to a mother soothing her child.
You can hush the oceans wild
Highlighting Jesus' power to calm wild oceans.
Boisterous waves obey Your will
Attributing authority to Jesus over the unruly waves.
When You say to them be still
Referencing Jesus' command for the waves to be still.
Wondrous Sovereign of the sea
Describing Jesus as the magnificent ruler of the sea.
Jesus savior pilot me
Repetition of seeking Jesus as the savior and pilot.
Wondrous sovereign of the sea
Reiteration of Jesus as the sovereign ruler of the sea.
Jesus savior pilot me
Repeated plea for Jesus to be the pilot.
Savior savior hear my desperate plea
Calling on Jesus as the savior in a moment of desperation.
Savior savior would you pilot me
Requesting Jesus to guide and pilot the speaker.
When at last I near the shore
Anticipating approaching challenges as the shore is near.
And the fearful breakers roar
Facing the roar of fearful breakers, seeking peace.
Grant me long and peaceful rest
Seeking a long and peaceful rest with Jesus' guidance.
Then while leaning on Your chest
Expressing trust and reliance on Jesus while leaning on Him.
May I hear Thee say to me
Desiring to hear Jesus assure the speaker in times of rest.
Fear not I will pilot thee
Imagining Jesus saying, "Fear not, I will pilot thee" in moments of rest.
My I hear Thee say to me
Reiteration of the desire to hear Jesus' reassuring words.
Fear not I will pilot thee
Repetition of the imagined reassurance from Jesus.
Savior savior hear my desperate plea
Repeating the plea for Jesus to hear the desperate cry for help.
Savior savior would you pilot me
Repeating the request for Jesus to be the guiding pilot.
Savior savior hear my desperate plea
Reiteration of the plea for Jesus to hear the desperate cry.
Savior savior would you pilot me
Repetition of the request for Jesus to be the guiding pilot.
May I hear Thee say to me
Expressing the hope to hear Jesus say, "Fear not, I will pilot thee."
Fear not I will pilot thee
Reiteration of the hope to hear Jesus' reassuring words.
May I hear Thee say to me
Repeating the desire to hear Jesus say, "Fear not, I will pilot thee."
Fear not I will pilot thee
Concluding with the repeated hope for Jesus' guidance and reassurance.
