Closer Than the Storm

[Verse 1] I thought following Your footsteps Meant I'd never meet the rain Now the shoreline's disappeared And I cannot see the way I've been rowing in the darkness Till my hands can barely hold Every wave brings back the question Did You leave me here alone? [Pre-Chorus] Then Your voice breaks through the thunder And I know I'm not alone [Chorus] You are closer than the storm Stronger than the fear in me When the water pulls me under You are reaching down for me Jesus, teach this heart to trust More than all the things I see I am small, but You are Lord Of the storm and of the sea [Verse 2] I stepped over what felt certain When I heard You call my name Then I watched the moving water Till my courage slipped away I had nothing left to offer But Your name upon my lips And before my faith could steady I was held within Your grip [Pre-Chorus] Even here, You haven't lost me Even now, You're teaching me [Chorus] You are closer than the storm Stronger than the fear in me When the water pulls me under You are reaching down for me Jesus, teach this heart to trust More than all the things I see I am small, but You are Lord Of the storm and of the sea [Bridge - quiet, then building] Make my fear a place of prayer Make my questions room for faith I don't know how long this lasts But I know the One who stays Grow a deeper trust within me Not a harder heart inside If I cannot see the shoreline Let me see You by my side [Final Chorus] You are closer than the storm Stronger than the fear in me When the water pulls me under You are reaching down for me Jesus, teach this heart to trust More than all the things I see I am small, but You are Lord Of the storm and of the sea [Outro] The wind is not my Savior Jesus, You are Lord
