Lifes Storms

There are days when we feel the warmth of the sun
and times when from it all we want to run,
the weather can bless us, bring joy to our hours,
and it can curse us with it's mighty dark powers
Thunders and lightning’s can crash across the skies
of our mind, creating havoc of the very worst kind

With the world in a storm an early snow
Can be one of the prettiest shows
Snow of white so pure as the clouds above
Reflective of God's abundant love
For as the snow covers the earth
God's love covers our sins

And then again with the ravages of sin,
that snow can be dirtied and sullied,
as the rains of hate and dire straights
pelt us with force, and make all things muddied
Yet the warmth of the sun can bring joy on the run
and restore the damage and pain,
and make us whole in the Son

Just remember when the storms of life get you down
Seemingly no one is around
That just as he died on the cross for our sins
He arose again pure and free of sin
So like the early snow takes away the ugly of the earth
His blood will take your sins away

And as those sins are washed away,
it matters not from day to day,
Whether you have good or stormy Weather,
He will be there to help you keep your life together
So let not wind, hail, sleet or desert heat intimidate
You shall overcome adversity through His amazing grace

So as the storms of this world get you down
Making you feel like you are going to drown
Raise your eyes toward Gods grace
To look upon the saviors face
The storms will subside
For he has the power to calm the rushing tide

Mom, thank you for the honor of doing this duet with you
Love you, Mom

Wonderful duet! You make a good team!
None of us enjoy the storms of life, that's for sure, but it can be a growing and learning time for us. For me it teaches me where my shelter is...and that's in God's arms. He's the only one I know who is always there for me.
