The Journey

If you look for the rainbow after the storm you will find That the struggle is because you were blind But when the scales are lifted you will see That even in the midst of the storm you are free And the rays of light become more brilliant each day It becomes clearer that this dark place is not where you will stay For the plans He has for you are so beautiful and real That nothing has the power over your soul to steal The peace and joy that is worthy for you to receive If you just look towards the light you will begin to believe That only He has lifted you out of that dreadful place He lifted you up with the power of His grace So now your journey begins with a tiny ray of hope But it’s all you need, to see the scope Of the real picture painted before your eyes A work of art that can be seen only by the wise And how wise you’ve become because of the test You must pass before you can rest But once you fight that fight you are so much stronger than before You even begin to welcome more So you can be refined like a diamond in the rough Oh Lord, this journey seems so tough But you keep on searching for the love He promises to pour out to you The clouds are clearing the skies look blue And the sun is shining, shining so brilliantly upon your soul That you start to feel strong, you will not fold You’ll continue the journey forevermore Because His love has brought you out of the storm and onto the shore So you lay so still as you look at all the blessings found in the beauty of His gifts And suddenly the darkness shifts To light and hope and strength and love And you know in your heart this can only come from the one above
