Til' the Storm Passes Over

The day by day struggle sometimes catches up to us, overwhelming us. Sometimes God allows a storm to come into our lives that catches us off guard. Storms don't bother me so much, but the storm that sticks around for a year or two... well it gets a little bit tiring. It can be difficult to see the light at the end of the tunnel, and to just get through a day seems like a giant in my eyes.

On Sunday night, the speaker spoke on the storms in life. The speaker mentioned that sometimes God allows us to thrash around for a while, but is ready and waiting for us as soon as we cry out to Him. I've been thrashing around for a while now, finding it difficult to place my trust in Him that He will help me through this rough point. It's been so long without things getting better that everything just has started to ache. However, I AM crying out to God! I will not stay in the storm forever, but even if were to. I will look to the God of my Salvation, who has redeemed me from bondage. I am very thankful for His patience with me, for I have chosen to place my trust in Him at last.

In the dark of the midnight have I oft hid my face,
While the storm howls above me, and there's no hiding place.
'Mid the crash of the thunder, Precious Lord, hear my cry,
Keep me safe till the storm passes by.

Many times Satan whispered, "There is no need to try,
For there's no end of sorrow, there's no hope by and by"
But I know Thou art with me, and tomorrow I'll rise
Where the storms never darken the skies.

When the long night has ended and the storms come no more,
Let me stand in Thy presence on the bright peaceful shore;
In that land where the tempest, never comes, Lord, may I
Dwell with Thee when the storm passes by.

Till the storm passes over, till the thunder sounds no more,
Till the clouds roll forever from the sky;
Hold me fast, let me stand in the hollow of Thy hand,
Keep me safe till the storm passes by.
