I Of the Storm

They didn't understand why He didn'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
 And soon they heard Him call 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 couldn't 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 words
 He's the Great I AM
 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
