The storm may rage on around me,
But I am safe and warm – sheltered by your love.
When I cry out in distress,
you are right there to comfort and to guide me.
In every challenge I face in life,
you are right here with me;
Enveloping me in your steadfast love.
The jaws of the world snap at me
trying to take pieces of me,
But I remain whole;
Thanks to your love and support.
When I am in the pits of despair
you offer me a hand to hold.
When I am lost in the darkness
you provide me with light.
When I feel as if I don’t have the strength to go on
you lift me up and set me in motion once again.
What words could be enough to express my gratitude
for all you have done for me.
So, I will sing your praises without ceasing.
May my words express the joy you have brought to my life.
May my actions serve you in all I do.
May my entire being praise you and serve your people.
For it is your love that offers peace and joy to all the earth.
