Lyrics:

[Chorus Part A:]

Put Jesus at the helm of your life,
Let Him guide you through the storm and strife.
Your reason is your rudder, and passion is your sail,
With His wind, your journey will never fail.

[Chorus Part B:]

Without His hand, you will be adrift or storm-tossed,
But with Jesus at your helm, you won’t ever be lost,
You'll find the shore, you'll find the light,
Put Jesus at the helm, He will steer you right.

[Verse 1:]

Your reason is the rudder, steady and sure,
But without His grace and guidance, it can't endure.
Your passions are the sails that drive your soul,
But without His wind, they won't make you whole.
When Jesus is not the one you have as your guide,
You'll drift in circles, caught in the tide.

[Verse 2:]

When the winds of life are cold and strong,
And you're tempted to think you're steering wrong,
Remember, it's not just the course you choose,
But who's at the helm that determines if you lose.
Your own reason may falter, your passions may wane,
But with Jesus at the helm, you'll never steer in vain.

[Bridge:]

Don't trust in your own strength, it's not enough,
When the seas get rough and the waves are tough.
Only His wind can fill your sails,
Only His hand at the helm will never fail.
Without Him, you'll race to nowhere fast,
But with Jesus, your voyage will last.

[Chorus Part A:]

Put Jesus at the helm of your life,
Let Him guide you through the storm and strife.
Your reason is your rudder, and passion is your sail,
With His wind, your journey will never fail.

[Chorus Part B:]

Without His hand, you will be adrift or storm-tossed,
But with Jesus at your helm, you won’t ever be lost,
You'll find the shore, you'll find the light,
Put Jesus at the helm, He will steer you right.

 

This song was "created" by Ray Winstead by providing the lyrics to an Artificial Intelligence (AI) program. He holds the copyright for this AI generated song as the "creator" of the song and as a paid subscriber through the Suno AI company.

For this song "Put Jesus at Your Helm!," after putting in a number of "prompts," I edited the original AI lyrics of the song - and then an AI program put the words into a song. I added Jesus to a concept I just read about in the book THE PROPHET by Kahlil Gibran. In his two-page essay about Reason and Passion, he said: "Your soul is oftentimes a battlefield, upon which your reason is at war against your passion." He likened your reason to a ship's rudder and your passion as the sails. One takeaway from his essay for me was to let your passion expand as much as possible - but be sure that your passion is controlled by reason. "Rest in reason, and move in passion."

I like the concept - but it is not enough. So, I included Jesus.
