In loving memory of Rick, my father and Rob
When the storms of life blow you’re way
What do you build your house on so it won’t blow away
Everyone will face hardship and uncertainty that will challenge their faith
When you build it on the rock, you can endure the race
Not a physical house as you may interpret
But your soul, mind and will that’s what is urgent
For at the end of life there is one thing that remains
Keep you’re eyes focused on the lord, this will protect you from the rain
For when the storm draws closer, and winds start to blow
He is ever near and his face he will show
He is close to the brokenhearted, comforts those who grieve
He knows how to listen, he knows what to say when your heart bleeds
He is a good good father, he always has a plan
Even when its storming, just cling to his hand
Keep your confidence in him, for he will carry you through
Run to him daily, when you dont know what to do
Like a mother who comforts her chicks and places them under her wing
His love is similar, true comfort he will bring
If you’re not in a storm, make you’re foundation secure
For while he holds our tomorrow, of this I am sure
We will all face things in life, no one is exempt
Place your trust in him, please make an attempt
For in this is wisdom before the cold winds blow
Making you’re foundation secure, for this I truly know
Nothing happens in our lives without his allowance, he is sovereign
He always has the final word, even when the enemy comes robbing
He sets our feet upon a rock, we are in his hands
Placing our faith in him even when we don’t understand
The only certainty we have is that he is steady and unchanging
He walks by our side when the storm is raging
For when the storm passes, you will come out refined
You’re faith made even stronger, and peace you will find
We will continue to face challenges until the day he returns
Remain in the refiners fire, allowing him to burn
What will remain is all that is true
Coming out of the fire an even better you
IN DEEP WATERS
