Crowder
When the Storm Comes
[Chorus 1]
Life gets rough...when the storm comes
Times are tough...when my storm comes
[Verse 1]
Uh, can you imagine the pain of a 14 year old son as he watches his mother die at the age of 31. Cancer the disease that could take this woman's life so young, answers no ones got em so he's left to grow numb...In a dark world so cold, empty, and full of anger...warning signs so bold yet he still couldn't see the danger. It be so easy in this life to get left out, tides rising on life's shores and you get swept out. Peering clouded windows, lightning flashing in...heavy burdened from the waves of pain crashing in. See he had weathered many storms while he was growing up..but God was faithful in His perfect timing showing up. In the midst of disappointment and terrible loss, he had peace and received the message of the Cross. Obedient to God's voice, he called on Jesus name..and ever since that day he's never been the same
[Chorus 2]
Weeping nights...when the storm comes
We need Christ...when the storm comes
[Verse 2]
No one could have imagined what happened on the 11th of September, seems unreal but it happened..a day we'll always remember. Jihad a holy war? with hopes the U.S. would surrender..hearts of terrorists waxing colder than a night in December. Ever so clear is the picture when the 2nd plane hit..an image engraved in our minds, something we'll never forget. A time of terror, gloom, endless pain and full of sorrow..life's changed, never the same with uncertainty of tomorrow. And it's a trip when I think about the lost lives...children never see their daddies, husbands never see their wife's. This world's a ghetto, life's a struggle, barely can survive. So many left speechless thinking why God why? But uh..Christ offers peace eternally so that you can cope...weeping may endure for a time but don't ever lose hope. Joy's coming in the morning time..God's on your team...He wants to heal your broken heart and all your shattered dreams
[Chorus 3]
Shattered dreams...when the storm comes
On my knees...when the storm comes
[Verse 3]
I can only imagine what that glorious day will be like...when the Lord returns for His bride and wipes the tears from our eyes. Brothers and sisters I exhort you in the name of Christ...offer your bodies unto God a living sacrifice...Holy and pleasing, your act of worship even through the pain. Trials and tribs gonna come but count it joy through your rain. When you enemy rushes in like a flood, plead the blood of Jesus over your life and be embraced by His love. Now keep your focus, don't ever take your eyes off Him...to those who are looking for His coming, He's gonna appear again. So be encouraged, that day is sooner than when you 1st believed... Selah...the storm is passing, open yours and see
[Chorus 4]
Vision blurred...when the storm comes
Ohhh it hurts...when the storm comes
Life gets rough...when the storm comes
Times are tough...when the storm comes
Weeping nights...when the storm comes
We need Christ...when the storm comes
