Mark 4:37,39 And there arose a great storm of wind, and the waves beat into the ship, so that it was now full. . . . .
[39] And he arose, and rebuked the wind, and said unto the sea, Peace, be still. And the wind ceased, and there was a great calm.
What a wonderful lesson we learn here.
Jesus puts us into the storms of life in order that we might grow closer to Him.
T’il The Storm Passes By
_______________________
In the dark of the midnight have I oft hid my face, — While the storm howls above me, and there's no hiding place. — 'Mid the crash of the thunder, Precious Lord, hear my cry, — Keep me safe till the storm passes by.
CHORUS:
Till the storm passes over, till the thunder sounds no more, — Till the clouds roll forever from the sky; — Hold me fast, let me stand in the hollow of Thy hand, — Keep me safe till the storm passes by.
Many times Satan whispered, "There is no need to try, — For there's no end of sorrow, there's no hope by and by" — But I know Thou art with me, and tomorrow I'll rise — Where the storms never darken the skies.
When the long night has ended and the storms come no more, — Let me stand in Thy presence on that bright peaceful shore; — In that land where the tempest never comes, Lord, may I — Dwell with Thee when the storm passes by.
Mosie Lister 1958
