Along This
Raging Sea

Dear God . . . My Lord this wind is so strong
How much more Lord can I take
The tempest is raging . . . I'm overwhelmed
My body is beginning to shake

I know you're here . . . And I'm not alone
But when will this madness end
I need to arise to get some air
Yes relief I'm sure you will send

This water is raging . . . The waves are so high
But I just can not give up the fight
Please dispatch an angel to rescue me
So I can see THE WONDERFUL LIGHT

Speak Lord to this howling wind
Command it to just become still
Sail me on my course for life
Yes into your PERFECT WILL

Where can I go . . . What can I do
Apart Dear Lord from you
As I travel along this raging sea
My thoughts are all on you

I know you are very much in charge
Your Hand is upon this ship
That's why I'm patiently waiting
Here in your presence now while I sit

Oh NOW I see THE LIGHT ahead
This storm is almost past
Then PEACE and JOY will all be mine
And THE SUN will shine at last
