Euroclydon

"...and wished for the day"

Acts 27:14-29

In the storms of life it is hard to see

When Adversities come our way;

And the nights are dark and weary,

And humbly, "We wish for the day."

Euroclydon was a mighty storm,

Way out in the Adriatic Sea;

And apart from the providence of God,

It was truly, no place to be.

When the ship called "life" breaks upon the rocks,

With the rolling sea’s around us;

And our only hope is the power of God,

It is then we know, He is with us!

So we look back upon "Euroclydon;"

When our faith was sorely tried;

And we sail our ship in confidence,

That He’s always by our side.

In the sovereignty of God’s purposes

We do not always understand;

But we know He hears us when we pray,

And the storms heed his command!
