**“Stronger Than the Storm”** *(From Beth’s perspective)* **Verse 1** I built these walls with trembling hands Prayers whispered into quiet plans Tried to raise them right, keep them safe inside Every rule a shield, every tear I’d hide But love can feel like holding tight Till it slips away in the dead of night Now her room’s still, and the silence screams Every fear I buried in between **Pre-Chorus** I hear the wind outside my door But it’s nothing like the war within my core **Chorus** I thought I knew what strong could be A steady faith, a family But the storm came crashing through my door And I’m not who I was before If grace can reach the broken parts And mercy mend these shattered hearts Then maybe we’re not torn apart Maybe love is stronger than the storm **Verse 2** I see her face in every mile That road she chose, that reckless child But I remember being young Running hard from what I’d done There’s a secret buried deep Nineteen years I couldn’t speak Now the truth is rising like the tide And I’m drowning in the life I tried to hide **Pre-Chorus** My house is shaking, truth is near And I don’t know if love can live through fear **Chorus** I thought I knew what strong could be A perfect life, a family But the storm came crashing through my door And I can’t pretend anymore If grace can reach the darkest night And bring our shattered hearts to light Then maybe we can win this fight Maybe love is stronger than the storm **Bridge** Lord, I’m on my knees in the pouring rain With every ounce of hidden pain If I confess, if I let go Will You hold us through the overflow? I can’t fix what’s torn apart But You can heal a broken heart **Breakdown** She’s out there somewhere in the night And I’m learning how to trust Your light **Final Chorus** I’m letting go of who I’ve been The perfect mask, the hidden sin ’Cause healing starts with honesty And grace is writing over me If forgiveness finds us where we are Not someday, but in the dark Then maybe hope’s not gone too far Maybe love is stronger than the storm **Outro** The wind still howls, the rain still falls But I hear redemption through it all And even here, with hearts worn torn I believe… we’re stronger than the storm.
