Revelations - Battered by the Winds Life

I prayed you would watch over me
As I faced each new fear;
I always cried out for Your help
And begged You to be near.
I never had the strength it took
To face each fight alone
And every stormy wind that blew
Just left me tossed and blown.

I prayed that someday I would find
Some courage of my own
To face the darkness and the wind
And all the fears I’d known
Without the need to call on You,
Without a cry or tear,
Without the need to burden You,
To always need you here.

And as I felt the prayer begin
To form within my heart,
I heard the answer come to me
Before my prayer could start.
I am not meant to be so strong
That I don’t look above
For help, and strength and guidance and
For Your enduring love

I know that I can face the winds
And I’ll endure the rain
Because You hold me in Your heart,
Because You ease my pain.
You take the shame of my mistakes
And wash away their stain.
You lead me out of darkness and
You bring me home again.
