Master of the Storm

Long ago, Jesus chose to walk, with you,
Through the coldest storm.
Though, at times, you may struggle on alone,
With your courage all long gone.
He will come to hold you, in the fiercest storm.

Though completely weak, unable to go on
He is there, His arms are holding you.
For, all your effort cannot keep you strong.
Now, every last resource is gone.


It is then He comes, within the deepest pain,
To whisper, "Trust Me, now, you can.
For, I am here and I know ~
I know your hurt. I hear you crying in the rain.

In your darkness, now, I will restore
So light will return to you, once more,
I know every valley that you have borne.
I will keep you without harm,
Though battered in the storm.

One day soon you will not feel this fear;
Alone, in the frightening night, so long,
I am coming to replace all that is not enough.
For, I will lift you up to see beyond.

I am the only One who can see you through.
when you're strength is all long gone,
I will come to hold you.
I will keep you in the storm.

In all the time of longing for the sun to shine,
when your heart is unable to go on,
I will come to carry you
And I will keep you warm."
