This Storm

I will praise You in this storm As I’m tossed in uncaring winds As the lightning and thunder crash As the waves pull me under again I will praise You in this storm Though I fear what I feel and see I know that I’m not forgotten For You are right there with me I will praise You in this storm And I know I’ll emerge one day For Your promise is to mold & make me And this storm will pass away I will praise You in this storm And I know it will someday end As I stand on dry land in the sun Not broken but taught how to bend I will praise You in this storm For the storm makes me recognize You love me and there is a lesson And it forces me to open my eyes I will praise You in this storm And always remember how it felt To come out on the other side And appreciate the storm itself I will praise You in this storm So I can tell others should they fall And be tossed in the winds and waves That You are there through it all I will praise You in this storm As I keep my eyes on You Winds are not strong nor the waves high For I know You will see me through
