Lyrics:

If Not For the Storms

If all I had were blue skies
and days of perfect peace
Or sailing over gentle quiet seas
There's so much about You
I might have never known
but I have faced the wind and waves
and I see how faith has grown

If not for the Storms
I couldn't say you were my shelter
If not for the storms
I would never known your strength
cause I found You so faithful
Through all that You allow
If not for the storms
There's no way I'd know You
As I know You now

A shepherd strong and tender I'd only read about
Met me in the middle of my moments filled without
A provider, a protector
A friend who knew my need
There's so much I can tell
of who you proved yourself to me

Sometimes its hard to see the reason for the trials I am in
Looking from this earthly point of view
but You have surely proven to me time and time again
I can depend on You to bring me through
