Storms
The sounds of distant thunder warn us of the coming storm
Where shafts of warm air rising cause the mighty clouds to form
From simple water vapor that our eyes can't even see
Until through condensation they become what they will be
To share with us the lessons God will have that we should learn
That all things in their season happen in their given turn
To teach us through God's nature only He has full control
Of what is bound to happen to the God abandoned soul
Who lays their trust in Jesus Who will never let them down
That strong and firm foundation where the grace of God is found
To make of us a building that needs never be concerned
If by our faith we build upon the principles we've learned
The principles of righteousness that will not break or bend
That found within the Law of God will save us to the end
When all the storms around us wipe away the things that be
Not firm and well established on the cross of Calvary
Where Love divine was tested by the greatest storm of strife
As Christ the precious Son of God hung there to give His life
To be our Lamb and Sacrifice that we in turn might be
Joint heirs with Him in Paradise one with divinity
That gave its all for all of us who leave our past behind
And let our Saviour live in us through consecrated minds
That seek Him every morning trusting Him to make each day
Another step toward heaven as He leads us in the way
That will see storms of fury while we still live in this earth
That cannot hurt the souls of those who've known Him through rebirth
But only hurt this body but for just a little while
Until God says, “It's time My Son that all be reconciled.”
And then Christ comes in glory but not with the storms of strife
But in a cloud of angels who have watched us all our life
And cheered for every victory that grace had brought us through
When by our faith we trusted God to do what He could do
When at the feet of Jesus we did lay our burden down
And lingered there in wonder as we knelt on holy ground
How Jesus our Example showed us all that we can be
When we like Him begin each day with God on bended knee
Ecclesiastes 3:1-14; Job 21; Luke 8:22-25
