I think an enemy has attacked us

a poem by R.A. Jacob

I think an enemy has attacked us, 

Yet I will bowdown and pray, 

I submit the helm in your hand, 

The ship is yours always. 

I can't steer the ship I am sure, 

I can't steer the ship all alone, 

When I fail to canoe, all alone, 

I leave the deck to Him for sure. 

He has to take control,

He won't fail for sure,

Neither have you ever failed, 

Nor can thy servant fail.
