Hope is Hiding

Hope is Hiding

The storm is raging all around.

Hope is hiding and cannot be found.

Where did she go? Why did she leave?

Alone and afraid, I silently grieve.

The storm is spilling into my heart.

Will it drown with sorrow? Will it ever depart?

Then, I hear a soft whisper in my ear,

"Never fear, for I AM always quite near."

The storm's sorrow is then pumped out of my soul.

Storm, enter no more! God is always in control.
