CAPTAIN OF THE STORM<\/p>\n

by Bill Kochman<\/p>\n

08-22-2024<\/p>\n

Sometimes we become so very anxious,
\nAnd we worry about what may lie ahead,
\nThat old Devil tries to fill us all with fear,
\nBut we just need to trust the Lord instead.<\/p>\n

Yet trusting doesn’t always come so easy,
\nParticularly when we begin to look around,
\nThe world’s filled with all sorts of problems,
\nAnd for certain many dangers do abound.<\/p>\n

So then exactly what is the right solution,
\nAnd how can we bring our hearts peace?
\nIs there an easy way to calm life’s storms,
\nSo that the great waves of fear will cease?<\/p>\n

Well, I am happy to say there’s an answer,
\nWhich has been known for so many years,
\nIt will remove the turmoil from your mind,
\nAnd most assuredly wipe away your tears.<\/p>\n

Instead of looking around at the sad world,
\nYou need to put your eyes just on the Lord,
\nThen though winds howl and waves crash,
\nOn His ship He will keep you safely aboard.<\/p>\n

While it will not always be smooth sailing,
\nYour holy Captain knows the safest way,
\nHe’ll guide you through the rough waters,
\nAnd you will arrive at a much brighter day.<\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"
