The Storm
Here is a poem that I wrote nearly two years ago. I pray it will be an encouragement for someone to draw closer to God when life is smooth and when the storms rage.
The Storm
I hide and cringe in fear.
I’ve seen clouds like these before,
Oh, Lord, be ever near.
I’ve felt how hard the winds can blow.
I was almost lost at sea.
My sails so torn and powerless.
Oh, Lord stay close to me.
I am afraid of this new storm
And the damage it can do.
What will be left of my heart in the end?
Oh, Lord, I draw close to You.
You are my rock, my strong tower.
In You I have no fear.
You are my strength from day to day.
You will be ever near.
“Fear thou not,” I hear You say
Out on the stormy sea.
You will uphold me by Your Right Hand.
You will stay close to me.
You are the Rock where I can hide
Until the storm is through
I will find shelter under Your wings
I will draw close to You.

Fear thou not; for I am with thee: be not dismayed; for I am thy God: I will strengthen thee; yea, I will help thee; yea, I will uphold thee with the right hand of my righteousness.
Isaiah 41:10

That was beautifully written and really puts it all in perspective that God is watching over us no mater what the situation. Thanks for sharing it.
Karen,
Awesome! Publish more of your poetry for us to enjoy! Check out my blog today.
When you think you don't have anything to comment about on your blog, you can always write a poem. Our anniversary is next week. Hint, hint. :-)

Want to guess what the Lord gave me to speak on at the ladies luncheon? Yep, "The Perfect Storm"! Beautiful poem spoken from a heart that so obviously loves Him.
