Life's storms bring us closer to God. They put us in a place much bigger than ourselves and our resources. Where will we go? Who will save us? At these times we realize that we do not have the power in our hands- we are going to have to draw it from another source. So we turn to the final authority- God Almighty. We have to be willing to seek God's help in our lives and to learn from life's storms. We may get hurt in the process- but God is the healer of all hearts.

 

 

 

Because of the Storm

 

Wind is blowing through my hair
Drying off yesterday’s tears
Bandages covering deep wounds
Scars proving I’ve been through


Though many clouds, can’t say I’m sad
It brought me strength I never had
My faith in You only got stronger
As each day seemed to get longer

If you listen past the rain
Pounding on your window pane
You will hear a voice of love
Coming from the One above


My destiny was always to win
I didn’t know, so I let fear in
He whispered destruction in my ear
I listened to him for so many years

Until I realized it was just a voice
It had no power, so I made a choice
To fight back, I’m not ready to die;
learned to use my wings to fly

Because of the storm
I learned to love You more
Opened up my eyes to see
You brought out the best in me

Because of the storm
I learned to trust You more
Your footsteps in the sand
Because you hold me in Your hands
