When the "storms of life" gather darkly ahead,
I think of these wonderful words I once read;
And I say to myself as "threatening clouds" hover,
Don't "fold up your wings" and "run for cover".
But, like the eagle, "spread wide your wings"
And "soar far above" the troubles life brings.
For the eagle knows that the higher he flies
The more tranquil and brighter become the skies....

And there is nothing in life God ever asks us to bear
That we can't soar above "On The Wings of Prayer,"
And, in looking back over the "storm you passed through"
You'll find you gained strength and new courage, too.
For in facing "life's storms" with an eagle's wings,
You can fly far above earth's small petty things.

~ Helen Steiner Rice ~

....they that wait upon the Lord shall renew their strength; they shall mount up with wings as eagles.....

Isaiah 40:31

Til The Storm Passes By

In the dark of the mid-night
Have I oft hid my face,
While the storms howl above me,
And there's no hiding place.
Mid the crash of the thunder,
Precious Lord, hear my cry!
Keep me safe til the storm passes by.

chorus
Til the storm passes over,
Til the thunder sounds no more,
Til the clouds roll forever from the sky,
Hold me fast, Let me stand
In the hollow of Thy hand,
Keep me safe til the storm passes by.

verse 2
Many times Satan whispered,
There is no use to try
For there's no end of sorrow,
There's no hope by and by
But I know Thou art with me
And tomorrow I'll rise
Where the storms never darken the skies.

verse 3
When the long night has ended,
And the storms come no more,
Let me stand in Thy presence
On the bright, peaceful shore,
In that land where the tempest
Never comes, Lord, may I
Dwell with Thee when the storm passes by.
