The passing storm

The ship is listing badly

Water pours over the side

The storm continues

Lightening flashes

Waves grow

Hope fades

Weary.

But

the dawn

is near

it promises hope

a new day begins

Soon we will forget the storm

that nearly sank us 

and 

celebrate 

the light of a new day

A day when the King arrives

and calms the storms that threatened our night

Storms come and they pass

but in the middle of the storm don't every forget

that it will not last

The sun will rise

The storm will cease

Hope will grow

And you will discover 

the grace of God

in new ways 

because 

you lived through the storm
