Capo 3rd Fret
[Intro]
D A D
*Follow pattern of last two lines of chorus
[Verse]
D
Just like a ship I set out to sea
G D
With no one to guide me a- -long
Drifting along without directions
E A
As the waves grew fearful and strong
D
I wanted to show the world I could conquer
G D
The waves of life on my own
But I soon found out I just couldn't do it
A D
I'd never make it a- -lone
My ship kept driftin' in the mist of the ocean
G D
And I couldn't swim back to shore
Burned and battered by the storms of life
E A
Till it couldn't take any- -more
D
I cried Master please rescue me
G D
From drowning in the sea
I need you to guide me from the storm inside me
A D
From all these troubles set free
[Chorus]
D
There's a rescue Ship from the King's Harbor Shore
G D
Better get on board to- -day
It's the greatest ship that's ever sailed
E A
This ships the only way
D
To rescue you from the storms of life
G D
When you just can't take any- -more
*Jesus is the captain on the rescue ship
A D
*That sails from the King's Harbor Shore
[Instrumental]
*Follow pattern of last two lines of chorus
[Verse]
D
When into my view I saw a great ship
G D
It was sailing upon the dark waves
It moved steady and so strong
E A
As it quickly came my way
D
With the searchlight shining so powerful and bright
G D
It found me there just in time
And I knew it was sent from the King's Harbor Shore
A D
This old lost sailor to find
[Chorus]
D
There's a rescue Ship from the King's Harbor Shore
G D
Better get on board to- -day
It's the greatest ship that's ever sailed
E A
This ships the only way
D
To rescue you from the storms of life
G D
When you just can't take any- -more
*Jesus is the captain on the rescue ship
A D
*That sails from the King's Harbor Shore
