The Storms of Life ~ Glenna M. Baugh ~ Living Each Day

I never knew God's love before
In the way I know Him now
I did not know that I needed Him
My foolish heart did not allow.

Thinking I had it all, without a care
I was living with a self-satisfied lie
The sea I sailed was smooth and still
No clouds in the lovely blue sky.

The wind blew, the sky grew dark
And my ship built with foolish pride
The angry waves broke apart
And I had no place to hide.

Suddenly I began to pray
God, may Thy will be done today
I felt at peace my fear was gone
And I no longer felt alone.

I felt God's loving arms around me
Giving me strength, He helped me stand
God was my anchor as I faced the storm
Standing beside me holding my hand.

Now I know my God as never before
Feeling His loving grace and mercy for me
Now that my foolish pride is gone
I know this is how God meant me to be.
