From Psalm 89:8-9: “O Lord God of hosts, who is as mighty as you, O Lord? Your faithfulness surrounds you. You rule the raging of the sea; when its waves rise, you still them.”
Approaching storms
Burdened with fear
Now darkness forms
Hope’s light unclear
Tempest brewing
Drowning with fright
Life’s undoing
Faith must invite
Our Prince of Peace
Seeing our plight
Renews life’s lease
Turns night to light
Lord’s mighty voice
Storm’s rage resigns
Angels rejoice
Peace rules divine
Heart’s calmness grows
Lord takes control
Dark chaos slows
Christ on patrol
From Psalm 107:28-29: “Then they cried to the Lord in their trouble, and He brought them out from their distress; He made the storm be still, and the waves of the sea were hushed.”
Here is a familiar hymn, “Eternal Father, Strong to Save.” While I have used this hymn in the past, this shortened version features the true intensity of the “tempest brewing.” We can always look to our Father’s strength to help us persevere.
