Looking for info on a song, I'll Take You Home. Written by Sylvia Jean Canter I believe. Starts out, "I'm standing on the shore, looking out across life's ocean, and I see the storm of fury 'round me roll..." any idea if it's in a book or sheet music that I could find? Thanks!

LYRICS:
I'm Standing on the shore looking out across life's ocean,
and I see the storm of fury round me roll:
and I just can't see no way that I'm gonna make it over,
despair and fear are troubling my soul.

Then I see a ship sailing safely in the Harbor,
and I'm so thankful it's arriving just in time.
The Captains calling "come aboard my little children,
I'll take you home on the old ship of Zion."

These waves are getting closer, they're about to pull me under,
and desperately I'm trying to hold on;
Every where I look there's darkness all around me,
Oh Lord how long before the morning dawns.

Then I see a ship sailing safely in the Harbor,
and I'm so thankful it's arriving just in time.
The Captains calling "come aboard my little children,
I'll take you home on the old ship of Zion."
