In the Storm

In the Storm

When life is completely overturned
by the unseen wave of infection,
and we wonder where our God is in all of this.

We pause and listen as he whispers;
Here is peace. Take my hand.

When we face uncertainty at work and home
And our sense of security is stripped away.
We wonder whether we'll survive the storm,

We pause and listen as he whispers;
Here is peace. Take my hand. 

When our churches and congregations are shaken
and all we hold onto is gone,
and we wonder where God is calling. 

We pause and listen as he whispers;
Here is peace. Take my hand. 

When the landscape continually changes
as familiarity is eroded,
and we ask "where has life gone?"

We pause and listen as he whispers;
Here is peace. Take my hand.

When our bodies and minds feel bruised
And we look at those we love,
And we fear what we're facing,

We pause and listen as he whispers;
Here is peace. Take my hand. 

As we place our hand in his - 
Not in fear, but in trust,
As he leads us he reminds us
That the storm, it will end. 

And whatever happens beyond it, 
He will never let us go. 
His promises never broken. 

We pause and listen as he whispers;
Here is hope. Here I am.
