Peace Amidst the Storm The winds of storm are all around me The waves wash over my heart, without mercy They go over my head And I lose my breath The darkness overtakes me My vision is lost For a brief moment, in the distance… I see a high, high tower Its light dispels the darkness A beacon before me As I head for this tower With every ounce of strength I grab on and begin to climb As I cling to the tower… I suddenly find strength I am high above The waves keep crashing in But I find safety again High above I watch as the storm unfolds all around me Perched high in my tower The peace knows no bounds Safety from the raging winds That try to beat my soul The light wraps around me like a warm duvet Darkness is dispelled There is a certain tenacity of destruction all around me But, no harm befalls me as I find peace amidst the storm Grace Daub 5/6/2020 Proverbs 18:10 The name of the Lord is a strong tower. The righteous run to it and are safe (King James version)
