The stormy waters rise and crash
Against the broken shore
The turmoil of the raging storm
Has stricken there before.

The lightning snaps, the thunder rolls
The land in fear now shakes
The blackened sky now fierce at sight
Causes hearts to quake.

The glimpse of hope is all but dead
The rain begins to pour
The clouds blow in to hide the light
As Heaven shuts the door.

The strong winds blow, the floods now come
The storm has reached its peak
But midst the darkness there’s a light
A calm for all who seek.

Be steadfast, strong and don’t give in
Keep stepping toward the Light
For when you make it through the storm
It’s then you’ve won the fight.

When the storm overtakes your life
And hope is all but gone
Seek the light within the dark
And cry out to God’s Son.

We cannot have the joyful calm
Unless the storms we face
It’s only then we’ll understand
And yearn the quiet place.

Jesus lives in my heart!  He can in yours too!!!

As the storms rage on sometimes we forget that this too shall pass.  What a great reminder.

Unless we know darkness, we cannot appreciate light, knowing sickness, we appreciate health, etc.  You're absolutely right, that we can't deeply appreciate the loving comfort of our Lord until we acknowledge we can't manage on our own.  Nice piece.
