"The horse is prepared against the day of battle, but safety is of the Lord" (Proverbs 21:31). "And now I exhort you to be of good cheer: for there shall be no loss of any man's life among you, but of the ship. For there stood by me this night the angel of God, whose I am, and whom I serve, saying, Fear not Paul; thou must be brought before Caesar: and lo, God hath given thee all them that sail with thee. Wherefore, sirs, be of good cheer: for I believe God, that it shall be even as it was told me" (Acts 27:22-25).
The horse may be prepared, but safety is not here.
The ship shall not be spared, but there is still good cheer.
For things so temporary that you hold dearly to
Are not what you can carry to eternity with you.
We're sailing on to safety, to land on heaven's shore.
We're sailing to eternity with souls and nothing more.
Let go of earthly treasures! They are not what they seem,
For God thus lightly measures the things that men esteem.
