Calmly trust when storms of life descend
Don’t dwell too much on your failing efforts
Or shirk from rough patches on the way
Rather be thankful that your joy and peace
Are not based on our abilities each day.
Never doubt God has a purpose for you
So many miracles are achieved from prayer
Though life holds many triumphs and defeat
Through it all the Shepherd is there,
And the Shepherd so true and unchanging Stands by you in those hours of need Calmly trust when storms of life descend
There’s no prayer that He does not heed.
Indeed there’s so much lies beyond our knowledge But keep God’s goodness before your eyes
No road will lead you back to yesterday Today may hold more than you realise.
