Lyrics

(Introduction)

Standing firm in the storm
Is my Savior and guide:
As I'm sinking He holds out His hand.
Though I'm tossed to and fro
As I walk thru the waves,
If there's one who can save me, He can.

In the dark of despair,
I turn my head, He is there,
And again I am able to stand.
Joy returns to my soul,
By His grace, I am whole;
Praise His Name, for I now understand:
He alone holds my life in His hand!

As the storm fills the night,
He is still in my sight,
And I know He won't leave me to fail.
When it seems I can't stand,
"Peace, be still" He commands,
And the storm stops its endless travail.

As the night turns to day,
I rejoice and I pray,
Giving thanks I am able to stand.
Joy returns to my soul:
I am free! I am whole!
Praise His Name, for I now understand:
He alone holds my life in His hand!

As the night turns to day,
I rejoice and I pray,
Giving thanks I am able to stand.
Joy returns to my soul:
I am free! I am whole!
Praise His Name, for I now understand:
He alone holds my life in His hand!

Bobbie Robar2011-02-25What a wonderful song of praise. The realization that Jesus holds our lives in His hands. Not someone else's, but His! It's up lifting and spiritual!
Jill2009-02-08It's a nice song sir, great message. But it will be more beautiful to hear the midi if the beats(drums)are lessened or changed into different instrument. Very much heard is the drums if i will make it as our accompaniment. May i request for an mp3 file without drums, thanks. God bless your talents.

2007-12-04...sound a bit pre-fabricated. maybe do without the programed beats. otherwise, it's not bad.
