Psalms 32:7 You are my hiding place; You shall preserve me from trouble; You shall surround me with songs of deliverance.

After my husband was tragically killed, I was in the midst of the biggest storm of my life. As I reached out to God for help and comfort, He heard my cry and ministered to me in many ways but one of the most powerful ways was through a song.

 

In those days, we listened to the radio at home and in our vehicles. It seems like every time I was feeling down, a certain song would come on the radio. The title of the song is “Sometimes It Takes A Storm” by Jessica King. The following are the lyrics to the song.

 

When your waters are so troubled, you don’t think you count at all

Waves may seem like mountains, when your boat is oh so small.

But somewhere past the clouds, waits a new day to begin.

Sometimes it takes a storm, to calm your storm within.

 

Sometimes it takes a storm, to know you need a shelter.

When the anchors in your life, disappear without a trace.

Sometimes the wind will rage, before you sail calm waters.

Sometimes it takes a storm, to find a hiding place.

 

They were drifting in the darkness, the sea was all around.

They cried out to the Master, please save us or we’ll drown.

Jesus heard the cries, and Mercy stilled the wind.

Sometimes it takes a storm, to see the sun again.

 

Sometimes it takes a storm, to know you need a shelter.

When the anchors in your life, disappear without a trace.

Sometimes the wind will rage, before you sail calm waters.

Sometimes it takes a storm, to find a hiding place.

 

Sometimes the wind will rage before you sail calm waters.

Lord thank you for the storms, for I’ve found my hiding place.

Oh thank you for the storms, Lord You are my hiding place.

 

If you are in a bad place right now, I pray this song ministers to you as it did me all those many years ago. Martha Borg also sang this song at Family Worship Center in Baton Rouge, Louisiana.

I thank God for the storms because I have found my hiding place.

 

Jesus will……..….turn the tide...........in your life. He is your hiding place.

 

Thank you Jesus,         Doreen
