Yes, There Was A Storm..........Beckoning

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 loving 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  dream

Close in soul and mind.

Father, You draw me

With each wave and lightning flash

That teach me to love.

Each raindrop falling

Help clean 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

Had 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

Now I hear at last.

You drawing me in

Finally I come to You

And  Your rainbow shines.
