Winds of Adversity

The Wind Still Blows Verse 1 The wind never ceased Blowing toward the promised land It wasn’t a smooth-sailing voyage It didn’t always go as planned Even as chosen of the Lord Even though they were filled with faith Even though they had seen miracles Trials still came their way Rough seas Times of darkness Days when they could barely see Still they kept moving forward Toward where they were meant to be Pre-Chorus Faith did not calm every storm Or make the journey easy Sometimes faith was simply strength To take one more step When the way was hard to see Chorus The Lord can use The winds of adversity To guide me Not every storm is punishment Not every hardship means I failed Sometimes strength is built In the very winds I prayed would stop I will adjust the sails I will do what I can Trust what I cannot see The winds of adversity Can carry me Toward where I need to be Verse 2 Trials are a natural part of mortality Faith does not mean a life without pain There will be disappointment Loss and heartache Questions without answers And seasons of rain There are things I cannot change Things I cannot understand But I can choose what I do next I can rise I can work I can stand Pre-Chorus I don’t have to know the ending To take the next right step I don’t have to feel fearless To give the best I have left Chorus The Lord can use The winds of adversity To guide me Not every storm is punishment Not every hardship means I failed Sometimes strength is built In the very winds I prayed would stop I will adjust the sails I will do what I can Trust what I cannot see The winds of adversity Can carry me Toward where I need to be Bridge The wind still blows The rough seas rise There are days of fear And uncertain nights But I will endure I will act I will pray I will find the strength To face another day I am struggling But I am stronger I am learning as I go With faith and action I keep moving Even when the wind still blows Final Chorus The Lord can use The winds of adversity To guide me Not every storm is punishment Not every hardship means I failed Sometimes strength is built In the very winds I prayed would stop So I will adjust the sails I will do what I can Trust what I cannot see And keep moving toward Who I am becoming And who I am meant to be Outro The wind never ceased Blowing toward the promised land And sometimes the very wind That fights against me Is the wind that carries me there With faith With action With courage I will make it through Even when The wind still blows.
