Sometimes He Calms the Storm
lyrics by Tony Wood and Kevin Stokes
All who sail the sea of faith
Find out before too long
How quickly blue skies can grow dark
And gentle winds grow strong
Suddenly fear is like white water
Pounding on the soul
Still we sail on knowing
That our Lord is in control
Sometimes He calms the storm
With a whispered "Peace be still"
He can settle any sea
But it doesn't mean He will
Sometimes He holds us close
And lets the wind and waves go wild
Sometimes He calms the storm
And other times He calms His child
He has a reason for each trial
That we pass through in life
And though we're shaken
We cannot be pulled apart from Christ
No matter how the driving rain beats down
On those who hold to faith
A heart of trust will always
Be a quiet peaceful place
Sometimes He calms the storm
With a whispered "Peace be still"
He can settle any sea
But it doesn't mean He will
Sometimes He holds us close
And lets the wind and waves go wild
Sometimes He calms the storm
And other times He calms His child
How is your mom doing? I'll keep you in prayer. I'd ask that you'd do the same for me. I have to preach Sunday morning (literally.)
2 Corinthians 10: 3-5
3. For though we walk in the flesh, we do not war after the flesh:
4. (For the weapons of our warfare are not carnal, but mighty through God to the pulling down of strong holds; )
5. Casting down imaginations, and every high thing that exalteth itself against the knowledge of God, and bringing into captivity every thought to the obedience of Christ;
Title: Wounds To Weapons
By: Melody
Date: September 19, 2005
Dedication: To two lovely ladies who have blessed my life in more ways than they will ever know. Thank you Sister Anne, and Sister Mary for standing by me while God transformed wounds to weapons.
Bound by chains of bitterness,
And of hatred locked within.
Drowning in an ocean of hurt.
Your lungs are filling--
As you cannot swim.
You feel there is no battle
Because it looks as though he's won.
You beg for God to help,
But Satan hides you from the one--
--The one who wants to take the chains
That bind you down today
And crush them in his mighty grip
So you can stand to say:
"I once was wounded horribly,
And the devil had me bound,
But my wounds God turned to weapons,
And my freedom has been found."
--The one who wants to lift you out
From the sea of hurt you're in
So you can stand to testify
Of how your broken-ness He mends.
Don't fret my friend for soon you'll rise
To share the gift he sends.
You will testify to those who hurt,
Of how you once were them.
Then on one day God stepped in
And helped you stand to say:
"I once was wounded horribly,
And the devil had me bound,
But my wounds God turned to weapons,
And my freedom has been found."
My wounds God turned to weapons,
And I stand to testify today,
That YOUR wounds will turn to weapons
If you will call upon his name.
Your wounds will turn to weapons
And the enemy you will slay.
Your wounds will turn to weapons
Then you can stand to say:
"I once was wounded horribly,
And the devil had me bound,
But my wounds God turned to weapons,
And my freedom has been found."

Just for added measure here...I am going to leave you with another bible passage. I have read this one passage for a solid week now. God has been so good to me, and it is the most encouraging, and uplifting think to know that God is merciful, and that he is on my (your) side. I have drawn so much from this passage this week. I hope someone reading will be able to as well.
Psalm 118: 1-29
1. O give thanks unto the LORD; for he is good: because his mercy endureth for ever.
2. Let Israel now say, that his mercy endureth for ever.
3. Let the house of Aaron now say, that his mercy endureth for ever.
4. Let them now that fear the LORD say, that his mercy endureth for ever.
5. I called upon the LORD in distress: the LORD answered me, and set me in a large place.
6. The LORD is on my side; I will not fear: what can man do unto me?
7. The LORD taketh my part with them that help me: therefore shall I see my desire upon them that hate me.
8. It is better to trust in the LORD than to put confidence in man.
9. It is better to trust in the LORD than to put confidence in princes.
10. All nations compassed me about: but in the name of the LORD will I destroy them.
11. They compassed me about; yea, they compassed me about: but in the name of the LORD I will destroy them.
12. They compassed me about like bees; they are quenched as the fire of thorns: for in the name of the LORD I will destroy them.
13. Thou hast thrust sore at me that I might fall: but the LORD helped me.
14. The LORD is my strength and song, and is become my salvation.
15. The voice of rejoicing and salvation is in the tabernacles of the righteous: the right hand of the LORD doeth valiantly.
16. The right hand of the LORD is exalted: the right hand of the LORD doeth valiantly.
17. I shall not die, but live, and declare the works of the LORD.
18. The LORD hath chastened me sore: but he hath not given me over unto death.
19. Open to me the gates of righteousness: I will go into them, and I will praise the LORD:
20. This gate of the LORD, into which the righteous shall enter.
21. I will praise thee: for thou hast heard me, and art become my salvation.
22. The stone which the builders refused is become the head stone of the corner.
23. This is the LORD'S doing; it is marvellous in our eyes.
24. This is the day which the LORD hath made; we will rejoice and be glad in it.
25. Save now, I beseech thee, O LORD: O LORD, I beseech thee, send now prosperity.
26. Blessed be he that cometh in the name of the LORD: we have blessed you out of the house of the LORD.
27. God is the LORD, which hath shewed us light: bind the sacrifice with cords, even unto the horns of the altar.
28. Thou art my God, and I will praise thee: thou art my God, I will exalt thee.
29. O give thanks unto the LORD; for he is good: for his mercy endureth for ever.
