The Storm

Watching the evening news. 
Getting more and more fed up with each story told.
Should we be?

The storm, it is amassing;
I shall not be shaken!
When disaster whispers, I
will not be overtaken!
There is power...there is wind...
there is ugliness...
THERE IS ALSO GOD MOST HIGH
AND HIM WILL I ADDRESS!!

The storm, it is amassing.
I must do what I can.
One thing that I will not do
is panic before man!
Rather, I must plan on how
to help them through the gale;
talking with them about Jesus--
we shall never fail!

The storm--it is not always in
the sky above this man;
sometimes it is among us:
the enemy's vile plan!
BUT GOD is even greater than
his tactics and his ways.
The Straight and Narrow to retain,
which leads to endless praise!

All of this repulsion must come to pass before the Best takes His place.
Press on.  These are merely birth pangs.
