> I think my storm is over now

>

> I feel the sun light filter in

>

> Thunder still rolls in the distance

>

> Of unforgettable sin

>

> Regrets fill my heart and mind

>

> For things I've said and done

>

> Though memories come back to haunt

>

> >From my past I dare not run

>

> But I did not come alone you see

>

> And stumble upon the light

>

> I found a friend to hold my hand

>

> And lead me through the night

>

> He pulls me when I drag my feet

>

> He carries me when I'm weak

>

> He lets me walk when I have strength

>

> 'Tis the Lord of whom I speak

>

> Now the sun light warms my dampened face

>

> As I start to walk ahead

>

> I have faced the pain of ten lifetimes

>

> Now I'm faced with success instead

>

> I think my storm is over now

>

> Darkness no longer feared

>

> But when I look over my shoulder

>

> Other lost souls appear

>

> I turned to face my friend, The Lord

>

> And ask what I may do

>

> "Become a beacon of light" He said

>

> "And help to lead them through"

>

> My Lord has spared my life

>

> >From the cold dark storm of hell

>

> Now I shall stay and do this task

>

> Lord give me strength to do it well
