Heart of the Storm

The heavy weight of the decision
Bears down upon these tiny shoulders
The two sides of my Inquisition
Tear at my soul like frightened soldiers
Fear of what the future's holding,
Fear that I might be mistaken
So confused; the thunder's rolling
Across this plain o'ercast with hatred

Soon the day will come, and I will be the one,
There is no other
When I must decide, I must reject this pride
That holds me under

I discover, day by day,
Why the wise say what they say
What do I need to keep warm,
Moving into the Heart of the Storm?
Lightning flashes, thunder pounds,
Rushing rain, a sacred sound
Though I know there may be harm,
I plunge into the Heart of the Storm

All I want is one clear vision
From Your heart, O holy Father
Then I could move with such precision,
There'd be no doubt; I'd walk with honor
But with no weaknesses to fear,
With nothing left to make me stumble,
I'd have no need to draw You near,
But I want You, so make me humble

Recklessness and Truth, Holiness and Youth,
They whirl inside me
While I've got the chance, I'm jumping in the dance--
Please stay and guide me

I discover, day by day,
Why the wise say what they say
What do I need to keep warm,
Moving into the Heart of the Storm?
Lightning flashes, thunder pounds,
Rushing rain, a sacred sound
Though I know there may be harm,
I plunge into the Heart of the Storm

Fear and boldness mix within me,
Joined with Youth, a deadly potion
Apprehension shouts to send me
Running to this dark emotion
There are times when I can't see You;
I can't find Your heart of comfort
Am I wrong? Does my pain grieve You?
In defiance, still I wonder

Though the Darkness rides and rolls over my life,
I'm not defeated
Patience is the key to victory for me,
So I'll repeat it

I discover, day by day,
Why the wise say what they say
What do I need to keep warm,
Moving into the Heart of the Storm?
Lightning flashes, thunder pounds,
Rushing rain, a sacred sound
Though I know there may be harm,
I plunge into the Heart of the Storm

Ev'ry day and ev'ry night,
I'll be looking for this light
From the One by Whom I'm formed;
I need You in the Heart of the Storm
Life with You is free and wild,
As I'm pushing down these miles
Sheltered by Your mighty Arm,
I will not fear the Heart of the Storm
