Standing at the edge
Of an endless precipice
Greater than I
A hundred times over
Stronger than I could ever, ever hope to be
I look into its boundless waters as
It’s winds rage around me
How can I, hope to stand
Is there any hope for me
To weather such a storm?
For I am helpless, against this onslaught of
Nature and of storm
For it is much greater than I
Greater than anything I have ever faced
How can I hope to stand?
And yet as I stand, trembling in fear
Before this grand display of my insignificance
I realize that, very simply
I am not alone
For by me sits, a Light, a Power
Greater than anything I’ve ever known
And in Its eyes I see, the power and the violence of
A love and a justice that rages
Greater than any earthly storm
That burns through the heavens and the earth
I realize that, this Thing is
Something greater than, I could ever understand
And here it is next to me
As I sit trembling
How could I, be afraid, of storm that is
Miniscule in comparison to
This Light that is next to me?
So whatever storm rages
Whatever hurricane may bring
I choose to trust, this God who is
Next to me, who will not fail
He who will not leave me alone
To battle such a storm
So I can rest, as winds rage
And rain pounds on every side
For my God is with me, yes
I am not alone
So whatever storm may bring
Whatever happens next
Even if it rages all around me and
Tears my home to pieces, I
Know that my God, He is faithful
This Lover, He is true
And He has not failed me, no
He has not failed me yet!
So I choose, to trust in Him
As waters rise around me
For He is good, yes my God is faithful
Even in the storms!
