With You

Written by Shelly E. Johnson

You pray, “Take this away”
And you wonder why I allow such pain
You cry, “Place me on the other side”
And you feel as though My hands are tied

My thoughts are higher than yours
My faithfulness endures

I am your shelter in the storm
I am your peace in time of war
I am still waters in the midst of raging seas
Through the fire, through the rain
In your darkest day
I will hide you in the shadow of My wings
I am with you

You know I never promised you
A life of comfort
I never said this road would be easy
But strength I offer

When your tragedy comes
You are never alone

Come to me when you’re weary
I will give you rest
