I of the Storm

They didn't understand why He didn't come As they made their way toward the other side As they left the shore, they faced the storm And suddenly, they feared for their lives But upon the sea there Someone walked On the water as they listened for His cry And soon they heard Him call their names And tenderly He said, "It is I." He's the I of the storm The center of my calm The place where I find shelter The place where I find warmth The center of my ways The keeper of my days When I can't feel the sun shine And my ship is tossed and torn He's the I of the storm They couldn't understand how the Prince of Peace Could find them in the middle of the sea But with little faith and God's good grace Joy would overcome their desperate pleas Now there are times in life when I face the storm And I wonder if I ever will survive That's when I hear Him call out my name And tenderly He says, "It is I." He's the I of the storm The center of my calm The place where I find shelter The place where I find warmth The center of my ways The keeper of my days When I can't feel the sun shine And my ship is tossed and torn He's the I of the storm Do not fear when He is near Take hold of His strong hand Listen closely to His words He's the Great I AM He's the I of the storm The center of my calm The place where I find shelter The place where I find warmth The center of my ways The keeper of my days When I can't feel the sun shine And my ship is tossed and torn He's the I of the storm
