Torn Sails

Sometimes life just takes the wind outta my sails...and my sails are torn.  I heard this song this morning on my way to work.  I love it when songs reach me...and of course when it is anything that parallels the sea.

In the eye of my storms...there Jesus is...whispering, "Peace...be still."

"Eye Of The Storm"  by Ryan Stevenson

In the eye of the storm, You remain in control

And in the middle of the war, You guard my soul

You alone are the anchor, when my sails are torn

Your love surrounds me in the eye of the storm

When the solid ground is falling out from underneath my feet

Between the black skies, and my red eyes, I can barely see

When I realize I've been sold out by my friends and my family

I can feel the rain reminding me

In the eye of the storm, You remain in control

In the middle of the war, You guard my soul

You alone are the anchor, when my sails are torn

Your love surrounds me in the eye of the storm

Mmm, when my hopes and dreams are far from me, and I'm runnin' out of faith

I see the future I picture slowly fade away

And when the tears of pain and heartache are falling down my face

I find my peace in Jesus' name

When the test comes in and the doctor says I've only got a few months left

It's like a bitter pill I'm swallowing; I can barely take a breath

And when addiction steals my baby girl, and there's nothing I can do

My only hope is to trust You

I trust You, Lord

I know You're watching me, yea, ay

When the storm is raging (when the storm is raging)

And my hope is gone (and my hope is gone, Lord)

When my flesh is failing, You're still holding on, oh whoa

When the storm is raging (the storm is raging)

And my hope is gone (and all my hope is gone)

When my flesh is failing (my flesh is failing)

You're still holding on, oooh

When the storm is raging (when the storm is raging)

And my hope is gone (and my hope is gone)

Even when my flesh is failing (flesh is failing)

You're still holding on, holding on

The Lord is my Shepherd

I have all that I need

He lets me rest in green meadows

He leads me beside peaceful streams

He renews my strength

He guides me along right paths, bringing honor to His Name

Even when I walk through the darkest valley, I will not be afraid

For You are close beside me
