Life's Lessons

I hear the sounds of approaching thunder My soul trembles from the fear I'm under Flashing lights in angry skies Reflecting as terror in my eyes Will this tempest pass me by And leave my fears where they lie God has sent this trial to me His life's lesson for me to see Faith tested by God's plans Given to a mere mortal man To overcome fear, trouble and strife And walk with God through this life
