The Night of the Storm

.
The night of the storm
     the wind howled,
          the rain poured,
               voices were raised,
                    many tears fell,
And the Word of God said
     "Come walk with Me for awhile."

I opened it wide and began to read:
     a peace calmed me,
          a joy lifted me up,
               the Spirit spoke,
                    I began to see,
And then the thunder cracked,
     and out the window I went to look.

It was then I began to sink
     back into the deep,
          the waters rising up,
               the waves, the foam,
                    I couldn't breathe,
And then a hand grabbed mine
     and pulled me back to my feet.

The night of the storm
     Jesus pulled me near
          when I cried out,
               the winds calmed,
                    the waves stilled,
And once again in His saving arms,
     He stopped the storm in me.
 

Matthew 14:22-33
