Yes There Was A Storm

Did you ever find yourself in an ongoing storm where you flounder almost fearing you will drown in it. Still the times of storms are when God is growing us and teaching us lessons that will help us to come into the sun when the storm ends. We also have coming into the Son to look forward to at the end of our lives.

~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~

The faithful love of the Lord
keeps us from destruction

    His mercies never cease.

Great is his faithfulness;

    his mercies begin afresh each morning.

    therefore, I will hope in him!         
Lamentations 3:22-24

Yes, There Was A Storm

Yes, there was a storm

The herons cried through the night

We still continued.

Yes, there was a storm

I was tossed around and yet

My boat stayed afloat.

Yes, there was a storm

Ended in peaceful silence

As the gusts subside.

Clouds, rain, thunder, wind

You and I by love joined

Yes, there was a storm.

Now the gale has stopped

But my Love is still with me

Loving my soul forever.

Now this Love brings joy

Beyond my fanciful dreams

Of all human love.

The peace of my soul

Brings me here to say  these words

I belong to You.

Now you are the Storm

That blows me on toward my bliss

And ne’er will I change.

Yes, I belong to You

In ways I never could have dreamed

Close in soul and mind.

Father You draw me

With each wave and lightning flash

That teach me to love.

Each raindrop falling

Cleans my soul of its sin

And brings my mind peace.

Oh never deserved

Your storm is teaching me more

Than human love can.

Thunder of Your voice

Has called me to come to you

Before I even knew.

And before I  cared

You blew your mighty currents

Calling me to You.

Why did I deserve

The love and grace You offered

To gather me in?

Your winds beckon home

All lost in their private storms

To bring their boats in.

Finding Your shelter 

Security in Your port 

Safe forever more.

Appreciation

That You have given me storms

To teach me Your truths.

Without all the storms

Could I even comprehend

All You do for me?

Yes we are the storm!

You loving me without end

And I at last hear.

You drawing me in

Finally I come to You

Now a rainbow shines.

We love to praise God in our storms,

because we KNOW  that

THE RAINBOW WILL COME!

Here is a song by Casting Crowns for you to listen to.
It is on the theme of praising God in the storms.
