Strength

You give me peace to rest my soul inside this hurricane that blows,
and i will anchor in the harbor of Your love.
within my weakness You are strong. to stand against the rain that comes.
You give me peace to be still in the middle of a storm.

i'll sail into the gentle waters of Your heart.
i'll rest within the haven of Your open arms.
i know where to be still in the middle of a storm.
yes, i know where to be still in the middle of a storm.

You give me peace to rest my soul inside this hurricane that blows,
and i will anchor in the harbor of Your love.
within my weakness You are strong. to stand against the rain that comes.
You give me peace to be still in the middle of a storm.

in the middle of a storm
in the middle of a storm, You give me peace.

{Do you not know? Have you not heard? The LORD is the everlasting God, the Creator of the ends of the earth. He will not grow tired or weary, and his understanding no one can fathom. He gives strength to the weary and increases the power of the weak. Even youths grow tired and weary, and young men stumble and fall;but those who hope in the LORD will renew their strength. They will soar on wings like eagles; they will run and not grow weary,they will walk and not be faint.

{But he said to me, "My grace is sufficient for you, for my power is made perfect in weakness." Therefore I will boast all the more gladly about my weaknesses, so that Christ's power may rest on me. 2 Corinthians 12:9}
