My Journey to God

Safety Through Storms

Let the storms of the night pass over,
Let peace in my heart abide,
Calm the winds of my transgressions,
Cause all of my fears to subside.

O the storms of my life have been plenty.
You brought me safely through,
For you have ever been there,
Always steadfast and true.

I thank you for your forbearance
As each storm of my life transpired.
From my sins I am asking thy clearance,
Loving Thee from whom I’m inspired.

Permit me to follow Thy footsteps
Up the way to salvation, Lord,
As together in Faith we travel,
My storms with Thine, in accord.
