GIFTS THE STORM MAY BRING
I’ve had my share of heartache & sorrow
Moments of sadness & lonely despair
I’ve been down on my knees
Begging life please
Take this burden I bear
I embrace this pain that I feel
For I know it’s birthing me
Into a greater way of being
I’m ready to receive…
All the gifts the storm may bring
There’s a deeper sense within
Of God unfolding
Yes these clouds are lifting me
Lord knows I’ve tried to run from these battles
But each time I circle to where I began
I can’t seem to move on
Till the learning is done
So teach me the perfection there
I embrace this pain that I feel
For I know it’s birthing me
Into a greater way of being
I’m ready to receive…
All the gifts the storm may bring
There’s a deeper sense within
Of God unfolding
My light is growing
Yes these clouds are lift, lifting me
Raise me up to the next glorious mountain
I will love each valley & peak, yeah
There will be a new me for certain
At every step, every turn
My God’s waiting there
My greatness it dares
I embrace this pain that I feel
For I know it’s birthing me
Into a greater way of being
I’m ready to receive…
All the gifts the storm may bring
There’s a deeper sense within
Of God unfolding
My light is growing
There’s peace in knowing
That these clouds are lifting me
I know these clouds are lifting me
I’m grateful for gifts the storm may bring
