Storm

I ran across this song this week and I knew instantly that I had to share it with you.

Storm by Lifehouse

how long have I
been in this storm
so overwhelmed by the ocean's shapeless form
water's getting harder to tread
with these waves crashing over my head

if I could just see you
everything will be alright
if I'd see you
the storminess will turn to light

and I will walk on water
and you will catch me if I fall
and I will get lost into your eyes
and everything will be alright
and everything will be alright

I know you didn't
bring me out here to drown
so why am I 10 feet under and upside down
barely surviving has become my purpose
cause I'm so used to living underneath the surface

if I could just see you
everything will be alright
if I see you
the storminess will turn to light

and I will walk on water
and you will catch me if I fall
and I will get lost into your eyes
and everything will be alright

and I will walk on water
you will catch me if I fall
and I will get lost into your eyes
and everything will be alright
I know everything is alright
everything's alright

The line that hit me hardest in this song was, "I know you didn't
bring me out here to drown."

When I'm in the middle of a crisis or just a down period, it's so easy for me to forget that God has the perfect plan for each of us. This song reminds me of the comfort that I take from the Psalms. God can handle our anger. He can handle our frustration. We just have to keep giving it to him and meditating on the truth that He will catch us when we fall.
