Storm of Life
by Belinda Jo Adams


Life seems to be going great!
No worry clouds appear.
The sun shines overhead.
Everything is bright and clear

A small cloud on the horizon
I see blowing my way.
Maybe it will dissipate
Before it comes to stay.

But no, it's getting closer
And darkness starts to fall.
Now in a storm of life
On God's dear name I call.

It hurts so much, Dear Father,
But all things work for good.
You sort the weather in my life
And send what You know You should.

Help me to weather this storm, Lord.
And through the driving rain
Help me to remember
The sun will shine again!
