WHEN THE WORLD APPEARS TO BE FALLING APART,
WHEN TROUBLE WEIGHS HEAVLY UPON MY HEART,
IT IS THEN MY FATHER GIVES MUCH CONSOLATION,
PROOF OF HIS LOVE AND HIS STRONG DEDICATION
NOTHING’S IMPOSSIBLE WHEN HE’S IN CONTROL,
HE’S MY FORTRESS, MY ROCK, HE COMFORTS MY SOUL.
HE IS THERE IN THE STORM AND WHEN IT SUBSIDES
HE IS MY REFUGE, AS WITH ME HE ALWAYS ABIDES.
SO IF YOU NEED COMFORT WITHIN YOUR OWN STORM,
HE OPENS HIS ARMS WHERE IT’S SAFE AND IT’S WARM,
HE WRAPS YOU SO GENTLY TO PLACATE YOUR FEAR,
CARESSING YOU LOVINGLY HE WIPES EVERY TEAR.
THERE’S REALLY NO MAGIC, IT’S ABOUT TRUE BELIEF,
JUST CALL ON HIM~SAY A PRAYER~HOWEVER BRIEF,
LONGSUFFERING AND PATIENT HE IS WAITING FOR YOU
THE PEACE THAT SURPASSES UNDERSTANDING IS TRUE.
THIS GIFT THAT HE GIVES WITHOUT EDICTS OR TIES,
IS FREE TO ALL WHO ARE FAITHFUL, LOYAL AND WISE.
IT IS THEN IN THIS PEACE THAT WE NOW UNDERSTAND.
HE HAS ALWAYS HELD US IN THE PALM OF HIS HAND.
