Into the Storm 7-23-94
There comes a time in everyone's life,
to stand up and face their painful strife.
To go against the grain and reject the norm,
and boldly go into the storm.
To face their hatred. To face their fear.
To shed every agonizing tear.
To weep until they can no longer weep,
stopping only to rest and sleep.
Though ragged and forlorn,
left doubting and loyalty torn.
They learn to trust the one true light.
Arrayed in Glory, Power, and Might.
And drive carefully protected into the storm.
where the rains of resentment
and winds of disgust,
Batter and knock them down
depriving them of trust.
Where hailstorms try to knock out,
and cause a weakening spiritual drought.
Battering and withering their misshapen form,
As they pursue farther into the storm.
And before they even think the end is near,
Everything becomes pure and crystal clear.
The worst was over
The Storm defeated.
Trust in God was all they needed.
