EFY 2002-Stand in Holy Places

In a sea shifting values
Tossed on every wave
While the winds wail around me
I will not be afraid
To call out for my captain
To calm the waves in me
When I stand a little taller
Its only then I finally see

Chorus:
I stand in holy places
Protected from the storm
Anchored safe in harbor
Tough my sails are ripped and worn
I stand in holy places
And I will not move
Until the Lord has come
And says Well done
He is the hope I hold on to
In holy places

There is a harbor in His holy house
An anchor in His grace
That steadies in the waves of doubt
And in every holy places
No matter where I travel
His spirits guiding me
With the Lord as my captain
There is a peaceful port in me

Repeat Chorus:

Afterglow-Captain of my Soul

We are here on Earth to work out our own salvation and we can receive great joy as we work and struggle, pursue and achieve righteous goals. We truly are the masters of our own destiny. But when the way is rough and rocky, it is comforting to know that we have a perfect Eternal friend who will support us and help us set a steady course through life.

At times my life is dark and so confusing.
At times my heart is weighted with despair.
Cause though I try to win seems I'm still losing,
As all my efforts vanish in the air.

They say you gotta fight to gain the glory.
They say you gotta strive to win the prize.
It's gotta be like in those old time stories
Where heroes walked with vict'ry in their eyes.

I am the captain, captain of my soul,
Master of my destiny.
With the truths that I've been given
I can choose the path for me.
I'm the master of my destiny.

Life with all its sorrow and confusion--
Sometimes it seems we're walking all alone.
There's gotta be someone we can rely on.
I know we'll never make it on our own.

They say you gotta fight to gain the glory.
They say you gotta strive to win the prize.
But one whose name I've heard in Bible stories
Stands waiting there with vict'ry in his eyes.

He'll be the captain, captain of my soul,
Master of my destiny.
Knowing ending from beginning
He can plan my course for me.
He's the master of my destiny.
