The storms of life

We wander about this world as fragile vessels on a sea.
Sometimes the winds are kindly, other times so terrifying
We can only do our best to keep afloat at every turn
For often we are battered and have  so much we need  to learn


When the winds of time come  and  shake our mortal frame
We need to find the courage and call upon Jesus'  name
For as He calmed the storm that was shaking His fishing boat
He will reach out to all His people  and help them keep afloat.

We mustn't let the storms of life cloud our point of view
They have their place in time but they are just passing through
They will shake us up and  shape us; if we let them do their stuff
But we must always remember that in God we're strong enough.
