WAVES OF PEACE

In stormy weather God release
a measure of Your waves of peace,
when breakers of fear come crashing down
in panic the eddies swirling round,
draw me out of control and frightfully tossed
floundering, fearing that all is lost.

Desperate cries, soar swiftly, to the source
from the giver of peace we have recourse,
peace rushes in, washes out despair
He lets me know His loving care,
and though the storm remains nearby
He softens the blow, and lifts me high.

In times of trouble may we hold close
to His Word and promises boldly boast,
when stormy weather would have us flee
may we meet the turbulence on our knees,
In stormy weather, God will release
a full measure of His Waves of Peace.
