It was on one average, sunny day
People were all busy children at play
When sudden darkness covered the sun
Sending a wrestling havoc down on everyone.
Storms clouds gathered and the thunder rolls
Lightning flashes and the fierce winds blow
Lifting up the waves of the mighty sea
Up to the heavens it seemed to be.

The calm of the day turned into a roaring lion
As the howling winds ripped through the pines
Screaming and squalling the trees were downed
Scattered like toothpicks covering the ground.
Homes were dark where there once was light
Quickly the day became a ghostly fright
From the pillow of darkness 
the hail poured down
Thrusting a snow colored ice all around.

Everyone scurried you can hear their cries
As the train sounds whistled on by
"Save me Lord I'll change my ways"
Don't let this storm of life wash me away.
From the storms darkness the swell, the calm
Some lived on others were embalmed
Some changed their wandering ways
While others secluded to their better days?

When the natural weather storms cease to be
Storms of life continue for you, for me
Staring into darkness of personal insight
Life is a war and we must fight!
Storm wars rage within our soul
"You have a choice" I am told
To rise above the plights to be
Broken homes, bad health and self pity.

There's battles of cancer free will and no money
Heartaches and tears that are not funny
Thousands unfair and destruction of self
Some storms of life can be put on the shelf.
Storms often come through no cause of our own.
God simply reminds us, He is on the throne.
Looking forward, backwards left and right
Around, within it seems no help in sight.

When I was a lad  my Mother would say
"If you'll find the will  you'll find a way"
There's always hope in this troubled life
That's filled with fears as black as the night.
We sometimes forget that God is there
As close to you as a silent prayer
Your search for God will always begin
When you search you'll find Him within.

When the storms of life Seem to be ongoing
You look to self, deep within. not even knowing
No answer there  will ever be found
Always look up never look down!
What should always feel so warm
Too many times turns to storms
Let the passion within you now yearn
The right to stay to live and to learn.

Until you allow God to take control
There'll be no peace in your soul
He'll still the storms He'll cease distresses
Give thanks to the Lord for His loving kindness'.
The secret of remaining safe through the storms of life
Place your faith in Him not in self nor strife
He'll still the winds He'll calm the sea
And the storms of life are won victoriously!

The storms of life are many and we know not  why
Our unanswered questions surmounts to the skies.
Oft times we're dazed and cannot think straight
But straight is the way and narrow the gate
Never give up it never too late
Our Father in Heaven is worth the long wait
When the storms of life forevermore cease
We'll walk with God In perfect peace!
