STORMY SEAS
I SHALL NEVER FORGET THAT
DARK AND STORMY SUMMER’S
NIGHT
WHEN I WAS LEFT TO WONDER
WHAT WOULD BE MY PLIGHT
TOSSED UPON AN ANGRY SEA
DEAR LORD, HAVE MERCY ON ME
WITH THUNDER ROLLING AND LIGHTNING
FLASHING AGAINST MY LITTLE BOAT
THE WAVES WERE CRASHING
WHEN AGAINST THE ROCKS I WAS
BEING TOSSED, I FEARED THAT
EVERYTHING WOULD BE LOST
THEN I SAW THE LIGHTHOUSE
SHINING SO BRIGHT AND OH THE
TEARS OF JOY I SHED AT THE SIGHT
AS TO ME I HEARD A SMALL, STILL
VOICE SPEAK, SAYING FOLLOW ME
AND UPON FIRM GROUND YOUR FEET
I WILL PLANT
SAFE FROM THE STORM AT LAST
I WAS FREE OF MY WRETCHED PAST
AND A NEW LIFE I DID BEGIN WHICH
FOR ETERNITY WILL NOT END.
