He Is Ever Near

When storm clouds are laden with rain

Lightning strikes with eerie red flashes

As the rain starts pouring down steady

My feet are getting wet as water splashes

I look for shelter as darkness is setting in

Confused I feel like I am lost and all alone

As the wind whips up with its high intensity

Cold rain hits my head away my hat is blown

Afraid I cower down behind a rocky ledge

Then a voice calls to me from high above

Do not be startled by this storm my friend

Listen because my heart is filled with love

As I listen to this soothing voice I now hear

My fears have vanished and I no longer fear

I know it is my Lord showing me I am safe

What a great feeling knowing He is ever near
