I was on-board a sailboat
and headed to who knows where
then suddenly a storm had come
the boat was going to sink
The stormy winds began to blow
every time raging more
Then my soul began to cry
in midst of that great storm
I have done all of the efforts
that any human being can do
I thought that with my efforts
that I'd gain peace within my soul
I strove and struggled and I toiled
but I couldn’t find victory
Then suddenly I heard a voice
And it gave me peace within
And it said: “Do not fear,
For your Savior is here to save your soul"
Christ is captain of my boat
Christ is captain of my boat
I know that I'm going to stay afloat
because Christ is captain of my boat
The boat of which I speak of
is this world full of suffering
Many of those who are on board this boat
they sail about aimlessly
Let’s all sail, with Jesus Christ
He's the Savior of our souls
He died for you, He died for me
And one day we will see Him face to face
Christ is captain of my boat
Christ is captain of my boat
I know that I'm going to stay afloat
because Christ is captain of my boat
Christ is captain of my boat
Christ is captain of my boat
I know that I'm going to stay afloat
because Christ is captain of my boat
I know that I'm going to stay afloat
because Christ is captain of my boat
Original Spanish Title: Cristo Es Mi Capitan
