I am like a ship on a stormy sea, being tossed and thrown recklessly
Sometimes I am like a calm ocean, the waves gently lapping the shore
Sometimes I am like a sparrow, trusting You and going along with the wind
Sometimes I am a child, hiding under a bed from a storm

But no matter what I am, or feel like I am,
You have shown me that I can trust You and Your loving hand

That sometimes when I want peace,
I need to learn how to find peace in my trials

Sometimes when I beg for You to take away the storm,
I just need You to show me how to conquer it with You

Sometimes when I ask You to take away the pain,
I need You to show me the lessons I can learn through it

God knows what we need

He knows our every thought and our heartbeats
He knows when we are afraid
He knows when we are happy
He knows when we are sad
He knows when we are peaceful
He knows what we need

Sometimes instead of taking away our pain and hurts,
He wants to teach us how to face them instead

Sometimes when we want Him to take away the storm,
He wants to teach us how to sail our ship

Sometimes when we want Him to take away our problems,
He wants to show us how to solve them with His help

God knows what we need

He does everything for a reason
He knows what you need and what I need to grow

Let Him water you
Let Him tend to you
Let Him teach and correct you
Let Him help you face your fears

Let Him help you see the good through those hard nights
Let Him in
Let Him love you and care for you, like the Loving Father He is

Let Him deepen your roots with Him
Let Him hold you
Let Him in
