The Storm Has Passed Away
Felt like hurting myself tonight
Fighting with me, myself and I with might
But, now I want to dance the night away
Now, I want to sing my heart away
But, it’s time to rest
It’s time to try my best
To be faithful to God Most High
His living, loving Word I can’t deny
Satan’s lies get into my head easily
Trying hard not to commit horrid wrongs tonight
The storm of tribulant tears
The storm of hesitant fears
Has passed away…
I wanted to pass away
But now I want to live
To give
You happiness amongst my dismay
I’m sorry I hurt you so
I’m sorry I let you down though
I’m sorry for letting go
Of my sanity a million years ago
Crazy how lazy and hazy I feel
I’m like a daisy in the field of blasphemy
For real, it’s no big deal…deal…
I feel heavy and grimacing fretfully
Trace me a path to follow
Graze in your own maze
And deep down inside, I feel hollow
Praise me with Your gaze
I’m sorry for putting You through hell
I’m sorry for being a coward… and a fool…
I’m sorry for being annoying and bad to you
I’m sorry for everything… now, I’m seeing backwards and my words are scrambled in my mind… b.s. to your unconditional lies
I’m sorry for giving in to temptation once more
I’m sorry for adoring Satan over You and I swore
I’d love You more than the countless stars at night
The storm has passed and I’m grateful
The storm of my past life is thankful
For the future me
For the future of possibilities
For the future me
For the future of opportunities
I often wish I could behave and be brave
I pray you’ll save me from harming myself
I often wish away the pain and God will pave
Me the narrow pathway of Life
Me the narrow pathway of godliness
Me the narrow pathway of righteousness
Me the narrow pathway of agape Love
Believer, receive grace from Him
Griever, grieve no more in a whim
Deceiver, your menacing ways
Are driving me down the road of one of those suicidal days…
Trustworthiness and faithfulness hold on to me
I want to be bold — behold, God is with me entirely
I’m sorry I wasn’t enduring…loyalty by my side
Resurrecting disgrace and discouragement — I cried aloud to Him and hide
I want to be loyal to the Lord of Accord
When this storm passes me by
I want to use Him as my armor, shield and sword
When this storm runs oh so dry
I’m committed to You…
I’m sorry for my endless rue
It’s cruel that I didn’t receive Your kindness yesterday
I denied You with dismay…with disarray…but I’m okay…okay…
Appreciate and acknowledge Him
Though the days may turn dark and grim
No hate will strangle me, so please
Set my soul, heart and mind at ease
I felt like neglecting You with unbelief
I’m sorry for not relying on Your relief
Instead, I buried myself alive with grief
I am but a withered olive tree leaf…
Remember me,
Glee from within
Remember me,
Though I wear my faith thin
Remember me,
Although you can’t set me free
Remember me,
No…don’t go…I’ll be left here in misery’s captivity
God’s Holy Spirit gives me true happiness
I’m sorry for rejecting it and sorry for doubting it in distress
I believe again…thank You…
I couldn’t be more loyal and true
The storm passed and I’m through…
The storm in the past made me feel terribly blue
The storm passed and I’m perseverant with vitality anew
Remember me as I slip away into the mourning dew, but I will rise in gladness like the few…
