The Shipyard
The shipyard's standing empty. We've launched another boat.
We know that it has been well built and now it is afloat.
The Lord is with our projects so they cannot fail
And we can all be filled with joy and watch St Frideswide sail
Now we need to tidy up. To rest and to take stock.
That we'll build another ship is really not a shock.
We've got a great designer with a secret plan
Not ready yet to be revealed to any mortal man.
Some things we are sure about. The plan will be quite new
And we'll be given all the tools to see the project through.
In the meantime, in the shipyard, we will learn new skills
To cope with any changes that the designer wills.
The new ship must be able to sail a restless sea
With lots of new conditions. We don't know what they'll be.
But it is with excitement we face a changing scene
And we will be as fervent as we have ever been.
