The I of the Storm

They did not understand why He wouldn't come
 As they made their way toward the other side
 As they left the shore, they faced the storm
 And suddenly they feared for their lives.
 But upon the sea there someone walked
 On the water, as they listened for His cry
 That's when they heared Him call out their names
 And tenderly He said, It is I.
 He's the I of the storm
 The center of my calm
 The place where I find shelter
 The place where I find warmth
 The center of my ways
 The keeper of my days
 When I can't feel the sun shine
 And my ship is tossed and torn
 He's the I of the storm
 They did not understand how the Prince of Peace
 Could find them in the middle of the sea
 But with little faith and God's good grace
 Joy would overcome their desperate pleas
 Now there are times in life when I face the storm
 And I wonder if I ever will survive
 That's when I hear Him call out my name
 And tenderly He says, It is I.
 He's the I of the storm
 The center of my calm
 The place where I find shelter
 The place where I find warmth
 The center of my ways
 The keeper of my days
 When I can't feel the sun shine
 And my ship is tossed and torn
 He's the I of the storm
 Do not fear when He is near
 Take hold of His strong hand
 Listen closely to His word
 He's the Great I Am
 The Great I Am still is
 The heavens and the earth are His
 He's the mercyful Almighty forever holy
 In everything we must remember this
 The Great I Am still is
 The I of the storm
 The center of my calm
 The place where I find shelter
 The place where I find warmth
 The center of my ways
 The keeper of my days
 When I can't feel the sun shine
 And my ship is tossed and torn
 He's the I of the storm
 He's the I of the storm
