Gordon Mcconnell Poet Rhyme

He Can Still Calm My Storm

Throughout the storms of life
there is one at my side
bringing peace with a whisper
making it easier to confide

What's before me I would think
the night's dark before my eyes
but faith carries me all of the way
for it's firm, on He never to sink

Be sure for certain in His hands
that's where it's safest to be
the future I certainly don't know
His ways best for His eyes do see

Remember the past and God's goodness
now I stand in Christ truly alive
to be used by Him how He decides
for Jesus took my sin, in it He did dive

The future unknown but God's not
because you know He's top form
no matter what comes my way
He can still calm my storm

( I have written this based on a song by Phil Laeger, which you can watch on the video by Phil Laeger -I'M in His Hands.)
