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.)
Hello dear friends. I am so very sorry for the long absence in my journal writing. I have been quite busy with my schoolwork. Well, to be honest, I was quite busy with school work, but also had just a small problem with depression over the last little while and did not feel up to writing. I am glad to say though, that GOD IS GOOD. He is always there for me, and he will always be there for you too if you will just let him and not limit him. Our God has no limits except the ones that we ourselves put on him.
This entry is not the one that I have been thinking of writing for awhile, it is something totally different from what I had in mind. I guess that means my “planned” post will wait until next time. Today I really wanted to share with you something I found. It is so, just, well, uplifting. I really liked it. I hope you do too.
I am not at my apartment this weekend so today I will leave you with this piece, and hopefully (since it is spring break, PRAISE THE LORD!!! lol) once I am back at my apartment after the weekend is over, I will have some time to get on and get down to business with a new entry.
I am unsure of who the author is, so I am going to say author unknown. I received this in an e-mail and wanted to share it with you all.
Love to all,
Melody
P.s.
If it happens that someone does not agree with what this little poem says, then that is fine. I happen to agree with it though, and this is my journal so that’s that. If anyone reading here has a “belief” issue with some thing that I post, again that is fine, we all have the right to agree or disagree with other people…but please, do refrain from posting ugly remarks on my tag board or in my comments. If you would really like to “speak”, and not “debate”, with me about something that I post then feel free to send an e-mail.
God Is
My God is able to do all things.
He is the First and Last,
the Beginning and the End!
He is the keeper of Creation
and the Creator of all!
He is the Architect of the universe
and the Manager of all times.
He always was, He always is,
and He always will be .....
Unmoved, Unchanged, Undefeated, and never Undone!
He was bruised and brought healing!
He was pierced and eased pain!
He was persecuted and brought freedom!
He was dead and brought life!
He is risen and brings power!
He reigns and brings Peace!
The world can't understand him,
The armies can't defeat Him,
The schools can't explain Him,
and The leaders can't ignore Him.
Herod couldn't kill Him,
The Pharisees couldn't confuse Him,
and The people couldn't hold Him!
Nero couldn't crush Him,
Hitler couldn't silence Him,
The New Age can't replace Him,
and Donahue can't explain Him away!
He is Light, Love, Longevity, and Lord.
He is Goodness, Kindness, Gentleness, and JESUS
He is Holy, Righteous, Mighty, Powerful, and Pure.
His Ways are Right, His Word is Eternal,
His Will is Unchanging, and His Mind is on Me.
He is My Redeemer,
He is My Saviour,
He is My Guide, and
He is Always Right.
He is My Joy,
He is My Comfort,
He is My Lord, and
He Rules My Life!
I serve Him because
His Bond is Love,
His Burden is Light,
and His Goal for Me is Abundant Life.
I follow Him because
He is The Wisdom of The Wise,
The Power of The Powerful,
The Ancient of Days,
The Ruler of Rulers,
The Leader of Leaders,
The Overseer of the Overcomers,
and The Sovereign Lord of all that Was
and Is and Is to Come.
And if that seems Impressive to you,
try this for size.
His goal is a Relationship with ME!
He will Never Leave Me,
Never Forsake Me,
Never Forget Me,
Never Overlook Me,
and Never cancel my appointment
in His appointment book!
When I fall, He Lifts Me Up!
When I fail, He Forgives!
When I am weak, He is Strong!
When I am lost, He is The Way!
When I am afraid, He is My Courage!
When I stumble, He Steadies Me!
When I am hurt, He Heals Me!
When I am broken, He Mends Me!
When I am blind, He Leads Me!
When I am hungry, He Feeds Me!
When I face trials, He Is With Me!
When I face persecution, He Shields Me!
When I face problems, He Comforts Me!
When I face loss, He Provides for Me!
When I face Death, He Carries Me Home!
He is Everything for Everybody Everywhere,
Every Time, and Every Way!
He is God,
He is Faithful.
I am His, and He is mine!
Everyday is a Blessing for GOD Is!
"JESUS"
A GREAT big AMEN to that poem! I've read it before and always wanted to find it again! Now I can save it... I might be wrong, but i thought there was a song to it. (or at least parts of it) 
Beautiful poem! To deny it's truth would also be to deny the Bible as truth because it comes from there. I was wondering where you had been.
