Sunshine In the Storm

Once lost at sea...the waves were getting wicked Warnings I heard but I didn't dare heed them Tossed to the east and tossed to the west The boat was falling to pieces and I believed it was a battleship Third time going under...I cried out to the lord I reached for His hand and He pulled me above I saw sunshine in the middle of the storm Walking in a wasteland...whirlwinds they were raging Like a legion of lunatics unleashed and gone crazy Spinning so savage in cyclonic circles One thousand miles an hour...spun out and left sickened Deformed and disfigured...chased by demons of dust Reality hit me and turned me to rust Only one could I trust as I cried out to the lord Like a pause button pushed there was peace all around Twisted, tangled and torn I saw sunshine in the middle of the storm Flood waters rose but I just could not move I lived my life bad...like I had nothing to lose Up to my waist...up to my chest...soon up to my neck Would this be my last breath? With a prayer for protection I cried out to the lord In the blink of an eye I was dry as a desert From the fear of dark death I was quickly delivered My life now is new...I'm renewed and reborn I saw sunshine in the middle of the storm
