Read an amazing story of a sail Jesus took with his followers:
Luke 8:22 One day
Jesus said to his disciples, "Let's cross over to the other side of the lake."
So they got into a boat and started out. 23 On the way across, Jesus lay down
for a nap, and while he was sleeping the wind began to rise. A fierce storm
developed that threatened to swamp them, and they were in real danger.
24 The disciples woke him up, shouting, "Master, Master, we're going to drown!"
So Jesus rebuked the wind and the raging waves. The storm stopped and all was
calm! 25 Then he asked them, "Where is your faith?"
And they were filled with awe and amazement. They said to one another, "Who is
this man, that even the winds and waves obey him?"
{things are just heating up for these sailors...}
26 So they arrived in the land of the Gerasenes,
across the lake from Galilee. 27 As Jesus was climbing out of the boat, a man
who was possessed by demons came out to meet him. Homeless and naked, he had
lived in a cemetery for a long time. 28 As soon as he saw Jesus, he shrieked and
fell to the ground before him, screaming, "Why are you bothering me, Jesus, Son
of the Most High God? Please, I beg you, don't torture me!" 29 For Jesus had
already commanded the evil spirit to come out of him. This spirit had often
taken control of the man. Even when he was shackled with chains, he simply broke
them and rushed out into the wilderness, completely under the demon's power.
30 "What is your name?" Jesus asked.
"Legion," he replied--for the man was filled with many demons. 31 The demons
kept begging Jesus not to send them into the Bottomless Pit. 32 A large herd of
pigs was feeding on the hillside nearby, and the demons pleaded with him to let
them enter into the pigs. Jesus gave them permission. 33 So the demons came out
of the man and entered the pigs, and the whole herd plunged down the steep
hillside into the lake, where they drowned.
34 When the herdsmen saw it, they fled to the nearby city and the surrounding
countryside, spreading the news as they ran. 35 A crowd soon gathered around
Jesus, for they wanted to see for themselves what had happened. And they saw the
man who had been possessed by demons sitting quietly at Jesus' feet, clothed and
sane. And the whole crowd was afraid. 36 Then those who had seen what happened
told the others how the demon-possessed man had been healed. 37 And all the
people in that region begged Jesus to go away and leave them alone, for a great
wave of fear swept over them.
So Jesus returned to the boat and left, crossing back to the other side of the
lake. 38 The man who had been demon possessed begged to go, too, but Jesus said,
39 "No, go back to your family and tell them all the wonderful things God has
done for you." So he went all through the city telling about the great thing
Jesus had done for him.
I sailed an ocean, unsettled
ocean
Through restful waters and deep commotion
Often frightened, unenlightened
Sail on, sail on sailor
I wrest the waters, fight Neptune's waters
Sail through the sorrows of life's marauders
Unrepenting, often empty
Sail on, sail on sailor
Caught like a sewer rat alone but I sail
Bought like a crust of bread, but oh do I wail
Seldom stumble, never crumble
Try to tumble, life's a rumble
Feel the stinging I've been given
Never ending, unrelenting
Heartbreak searing, always fearing
Never caring, persevering
Sail on, sail on, sailor
I work the seaways, the gale-swept seaways
Past shipwrecked daughters of wicked waters
Uninspired, drenched and tired
Wail on, wail on, sailor
Always needing, even bleeding
Never feeding all my feelings
Damn the thunder, must I blunder
There's no wonder all I'm under
Stop the crying and the lying
And the sighing and my dying
Sail on, sail on sailor
Sail on, sail on sailor
Sail on, sail on sailor
Sail on, sail on sailor
Sail on, sail on sailor
Sail on, sail on sailor
Sail on, sail on sailor
