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…
