ENDURING THE STORMS OF LIFE

Sometimes it’s hard to take
The bitter with the sweet
To face the raging storms of life
And not give up in defeat.

Sometimes we rely on worldly things
To help us reach our goals
We build our hopes upon the sand
And the storms beat on our souls.

But if we put our trust in God
We’re building on His rock
And all the storms of life can’t harm
Anyone who’s in His flock.

We will endure the storms of life
With faith and trust in His love.
For He will set His lighthouse
To guide us from above

Then whatsoever challenges we face
Whatever be our plight
He will guide us safely home
If we only follow in His light.

I took His life unto me
Gave Him what had been mine
I no longer had to worry
If men were cruel or unkind.

I asked for His forgiveness,
And shared it with those in need
Of forgiveness for their mortal selves
For sinful word or deed.

As I granted this grace, forgiveness,
I gained a blessed relief,
My spirit grew strong with honor,
My heart grew full of peace.

I now seek only God’s opinion;
Is He please with me?
For He alone is worthy
To judge and require a change in me.
