Love Broke Through
I left my shelter, wandered out into harm;
My faith grew so weak in the path of the storm.
A trial of my choosing; no one else to blame;
But His love broke through when I called on His name.
Chorus:
Love broke through the clouds, Love scattered the rain;
God’s love brought healing in the midst of my pain.
When the wind and the waves were all I could view,
Jesus calmed the storm, and His love broke through.
The wind rose so sudden, the thunder now roared;
I was all but sinking; my faith came unmoored.
A trial to test me – how could I survive?
Love broke through and showed me, “My Saviour’s alive!”
When loved ones were drowning; all seemed nearly lost,
I wanted to save them, whatever the cost;
But my strength was useless – oh, what could I do?
I called on the Saviour, and His love broke through.
When the wind and the waves were all I could view,
Jesus calmed my storm, and His love broke through.

Matthew 8:23-27 And when he (Jesus) was entered into a ship, his disciples followed him. And, behold, there arose a great tempest in the sea, insomuch that the ship was covered with the waves: but he was asleep. And his disciples came to him, and awoke him, saying, Lord, save us: we perish. And he saith unto them, Why are ye so fearful, O ye of little faith? Then he arose, and rebuked the winds and the sea; and there was a great calm. But the men marvelled, saying, What manner of man is this, that even the winds and the sea obey him?
Matthew 14:24-33 But the ship was now in the midst of the sea, tossed with waves: for the wind was contrary. And in the fourth watch of the night Jesus went unto them, walking on the sea. And when the disciples saw him walking on the sea, they were troubled, saying, It is a spirit; and they cried out for fear. But straightway Jesus spake unto them, saying, Be of good cheer; it is I; be not afraid. And Peter answered him and said, Lord, if it be thou bid me come unto thee on the water. And he said, Come. And when Peter was come down out of the ship, he walked on the water, to go to Jesus. But when he saw the wind boisterous, he was afraid; and beginning to sink, he cried, saying, Lord, save me. And immediately Jesus stretched forth his hand, and caught him, and said unto him, O thou of little faith, wherefore didst thou doubt? And when they were come into the ship, the wind ceased. Then they that were in the ship came and worshipped him, saying, Of a truth, thou art the Son of God.

I just commented on this at IFBKJV.com but wanted to let you know I would also love to sing this is you do have muisic for it.
ReplyDeleteI asked a friend to see if she could come up with some music for it, but she was pretty busy over the holidays. Hopefully she will have some time soon to look at it. If she is able to do anything with it, I can post a link to the music for it when she puts it up.
ReplyDeleteJerry -- My pastor-grandson-in-law has an album out and is working on another if you are the least bit interested in working with someone else. Your works are so inspiring! GrammyBlick@gmail.com
ReplyDeleteThank you for your words of encouragement. I am certainly willing to work with anyone sound on turning some of my poems into songs. I write many with a tune in my head, but I know nothing of music. Feel free to pass on anything of mine to others if you think the Lord can use it.
ReplyDeleteI have asked Deb Bolack (who put two of my songs to music in 2009) to see if she could come up with some music for it, and she said she would see what she could do after the holidays. God bless.
