You save me from stormy weather

 Of course. That powerful imagery is a cornerstone of faith. Here is a poem reflecting on that divine rescue.

In Stormy Water


When stormy water rises high, Beneath a dark and threatening sky, When waves of fear and doubt crash down, And I am sinking,sure to drown.


You speak a word into the gale, A promise that will never fail. You stretch Your hand,so strong and sure, A love and rescue ever pure. “He reached down from on high and took hold of me; he drew me out of deep waters.”(Psalm 18:16)


You are the anchor for my soul, The one who takes and makes me whole. The sea may rage and foam and swell, But with me,Immanuel. “When you pass through the waters, I will be with you; and when you pass through the rivers, they will not sweep over you.”(Isaiah 43:2)


You walk on waves that terrify, You meet me with a steady eye. And in the chaos,I can see Your power saving even me. “But Jesus immediately said to them: ‘Take courage! It is I. Don’t be afraid.’”(Matthew 14:27)


So let the winds their worst assail, Your grace and mercy will prevail. For You have saved me,not just once, But every time my faith is stunned.


You are the calm, You are the shore, My safety now and evermore.


Amen.
