Through the Storm
by Julie Carro

Sometimes I feel alone, like a ship that's lost at sea,
Tossed amongst the waves of life, sinking helplessly.
Part of my soul holds onto life, the other says let go,
While confusion leaves me reeling, rocking to and fro.

Emotions strike like lightening, that pierces to my heart,
As I hide within myself, grasping for a strengthened part.
Just about to capsize, my voice wells from within,
Oh my God, I need You, You are my closest friend!

I do not want to drown, I do not want to sink...
Jesus, will you save me, my life is on the brink!
Then in the midst of darkness, I see a gentle Light,
As I fall upon my knees and cry at such a precious sight.

Oh child, I've never left you, I've been here through the storm,
My heart has been so broken, to see you hurt and torn.
I could not calm your fears, until you called to Me,
Now faith will be your anchor, upon the towering sea.

We'll ride this gale together, to find the distant shore,
You are not alone, sweet child; I'm with you evermore.
Now peace be still and rest, cast your cares on me,
Through the storm, I'll guide you...You're no longer lost at sea.
