The Titanic was a ship of dreams
And unsinkable thought to be;
It represented the epitome of class and wealth
With the finest things to see.
It was majestic in so many ways
With a journey on its mind,
But there was misjudgement and incompetence
Where many lives were left behind.
The iceberg was the catalyst
That changed the entire course,
And ultimately responsible
For the calamity endorsed.
And the violinists were adamant
To continue with their song,
Perhaps living in denial
That there was a problem all along.
Is our ship slowly sinking
As we endeavour in our ways,
Or do we keep afloat
When God sustains our days?
Are we the captain of our soul
Where we think our ways are best,
Or have we surrendered unto Jesus
So our soul can know true rest?
Can the iceberg in our heart
Be a true stumbling block,
Or do we allow it to dissolve
When God’s treasure we unlock?
Because the waves and wind will come
To throw our soul astray,
But it’s in these desperate moments
That true faith and hope remain.
The Titanic was a ship of dreams
But where expectations they did sink,
And a reminder that our finest things
Can disappear in a blink.
Our soul should stay afloat
Irrespective of the floods,
When God becomes our anchor
With His unshakeable of love.

“For the waters have come up to my neck, I sink in deep mire, where there is no standing; I have come into deep waters, where the floods overflow me. I am weary with my crying; My throat is dry; My eyes fail while I wait for my God.” Psalm 69:1-3
“Come to Me, all you who labor and are heavy laden, and I will give you rest. Take My yoke upon you and learn from Me, for I am gentle and lowly in heart, and you will find rest for your souls. For My yoke is easy and My burden is light.” Matthew 11:28
“But when he saw that the wind was boisterous, he was afraid; and beginning to sink he cried out, saying, ‘Lord, save me!’” Matthew 14:30
