Hal David and Paul Hampton wrote the lyrics for this song. Don Gibson recorded the song in 1961.  I have tweaked the lyrics so that Christ is the Saviour and not just a woman.<p>
When you are lost, particularly on the sea, there is hopelessness and terror.  In life there is nothing but disappointment and emptiness without the LordJesusChrist.  <p> I received Jesus as my Saviour when I was 11 so I never spent much time in that Sea of Heartbreak. <p>  However, some people spend the better part of their lives apart from the Lord so they have a litany of stories about disappointment and heartbreak.
