There’s blue sky…

When darkness comes and clouds obscure,
And rain pours from the sky;
In the howling wind the branches flail,
And bits of debris fly.

It all feels hopeless, wild and lost,
A hostile, stormy night.
But in the midst of that swirling gale
The Lord says, “Don’t take fright!

“For I see from the other side,
Those clouds are moving on.
And when they’re gone you’ll see
That there is blue sky just beyond.

“It’s always there, just like my love,
But every storm will pass. 
Stay safe within my presence child;
I’ll keep you till the last.

“For nothing I created
can surpass my love for you.
Through Jesus’ blood you’re sanctified.
Believe my word! It’s true!

“The storms of life are transient,
But my Son’s blood covers all!
So turn to me dear child, I’m here!
I’ll always hear your call.

“Do not be anxious, neither fear,
For I am your shalom.
My grace and mercy never fail,
I AM your eternal home.”
