This Storm

I will praise You in this storm
As I’m tossed in uncaring winds
As the lightning and thunder crash
As the waves pull me under again

I will praise You in this storm
Though I fear what I feel and see
I know that I’m not forgotten
For You are right there with me

I will praise You in this storm
And I know I’ll emerge one day
For Your promise is to mold & make me
And this storm will pass away

I will praise You in this storm
And I know it will someday end
As I stand on dry land in the sun
Not broken but taught how to bend

I will praise You in this storm
For the storm makes me recognize
You love me and there is a lesson
And it forces me to open my eyes

I will praise You in this storm
And always remember how it felt
To come out on the other side
And appreciate the storm itself

I will praise You in this storm
So I can tell others should they fall
And be tossed in the winds and waves
That You are there through it all


I will praise You in this storm
As I keep my eyes on You
Winds are not strong nor the waves high 
For I know You will see me through
