The Tide Was Rough

I thank thee lord for lifting us in your arms when the tide was rough Tidal waves swept away our loved ones to your celestial heavens I thank thee lord for lifting us in your arms when the tide was rough You helped us to face the scouring realities by making us tough Life could have been worse, but you saved us from its denizens Fill my cup with more strength for I know the challenges are never enough I thank thee lord for lifting us in your arms when the tide was rough Rondelet-Refrain in line 1, 3, 7 Rhyme-a,b,a,a,b,b,a January 3, 2016 Contest: Giving Thanks For 2015 Sponsor: Carol Eastman
