A Shelter From the Storm

A shelter from the storm,
of life's torment.
A place of safety,
with no lament.
When your life seems,
so unstable,
Let God's loving arms,
turn the tables.

When you're running on
slippery ground,
when you are lost,
he can be found.
He can be your sun,
strength and shield.
He's right there waiting,
in his word, he is revealed.

Yes, God is a refuge, a rock,and a tent,
A shelter to all who seek him,
and repent.

Allah means god in Arabic, is not a name, Jesus is the son of God the creator. Krishna and all the hindu gods are not really gods as they are images that are lifeless, made by human hands. Buddha was a man not a god. Jehovah is the name of the true God in English I don't speak Hebrew so I don't say Yahweh. as for pagan gods that is self explanatory. Thanks for your comment. John
