At that time, I couldn\u2019t have imagined what storms I\u2019d be facing through my life. But looking back, I\u2019ve faced some difficult storms. Death, health issues, rebellion, and divorce just to name a few.<\/p>\n<p>&nbsp;<\/p>\n<p>But through all of the storms in my life, I always knew I could depend on One to guide me through those storms. Without God\u2019s Holy Spirit leading and guidance, I would have become lost in the turmoil. Without the gentle comfort, I would have been discouraged. Without the prompting I would have continued in my rebellion.<\/p>\n<p>&nbsp;<\/p>\n<p>Even in these dark days we\u2019ve passed through, there is great hope. There are many opportunities to share that hope with those we come in contact with. With God\u2019s help, we will be safe until the storm passes by.<\/p>\n<p>&nbsp;<\/p>\n<p>So here are the words and link to the hymn, \u201cTill the Storm Passes By.\u201d Perhaps you aren\u2019t going through major flooding as we are today, but a storm of another type. If that\u2019s the case, hold on to these words. Allow God to keep you safe until it\u2019s over. Then you\u2019ll be able to praise Him on the other side.<\/p>\n<p>&nbsp;<\/p>\n<p>\u201cTill the Storm Passes By\u201d<\/p>\n<p>&nbsp;<\/p>\n<p>In the dark of the midnight,<br \/>\nHave I oft hid my face;<br \/>\nWhile the storm howls above me,<br \/>\nAnd there&#8217;s no hiding place;<br \/>\n&#8216;Mid the crash of the thunder,<br \/>\nPrecious Lord, hear my cry;<br \/>\n&#8220;Keep me safe &#8217;til the storm passes by.&#8221;<\/p>\n<p>&#8216;Til the storm passes over,<br \/>\n&#8216;Til the thunder sounds no more;<br \/>\n&#8216;Til the clouds roll forever from the sky,<br \/>\nHold me fast, let me stand,<br \/>\nIn the hollow of Thy hand;<br \/>\nKeep me safe &#8217;til the storm passes by.<\/p>\n<p>Many times Satan whispers,<br \/>\n&#8220;There is no need to try;<br \/>\nFor there&#8217;s no end of sorrow,<br \/>\nThere&#8217;s no hope by and by&#8221;;<br \/>\nBut I know Thou art with me,<br \/>\nAnd tomorrow I&#8217;ll rise;<br \/>\nWhere the storms never darken the skies.<\/p>\n<p>&#8216;Til the storm passes over,<br \/>\n&#8216;Til the thunder sounds no more;<br \/>\n&#8216;Til the clouds roll forever from the sky,<br \/>\nHold me fast, let me stand,<br \/>\nIn the hollow of Thy hand;<br \/>\nKeep me safe &#8217;til the storm passes by.<\/p>\n<p>When the long night has ended,<br \/>\nAnd the storms come no more,<br \/>\nLet me stand in Thy presence.<br \/>\nOn that bright, peaceful shore.<br \/>\nIn that land where the tempest<br \/>\nNever comes, Lord may I<br \/>\nDwell with Thee when the storm passes by.<\/p>\n<p>&#8216;Til the storm passes over,<br \/>\n&#8216;Til the thunder sounds no more;<br \/>\n&#8216;Til the clouds roll forever from the sky,<br \/>\nHold me fast, let me stand,<br \/>\nIn the hollow of Thy hand;<br \/>\nKeep me safe &#8217;til the storm passes by.<a title=\"\" href=\"#_edn1\">[i]<\/a><\/p>\n<p>Click <a title=\"&quot;Till the Storm Passes By&quot;\" href=\"http:\/\/www.youtube.com\/watch?v=9MdIe83Pe-Q\" target=\"_blank\">here <\/a>to listen to the Gaither Homecoming version of this hymn.<\/p>\n<p>&nbsp;<\/p>\n<p>I heard an interview with Governor Hickenlooper this morning.
