It had been a quiet day
With all around in place
And the animals resting in their places
With peace on every side.
What a moment it was to share
And it seemed that time stood still
But little did we know that night
What was ahead for all.
Evening was coming on
And still we did not see
That the hours ahead was coming
Where the night ahead would be hard
For the storm clouds were gathering
And great would be their wrath
And little mercy would be given
To all, who did not know.
And yes, that storm did come
And what a night it was
The lightning did its work
And the thunder roared with sound.
And as we stood in horror
At the damage that was done
We prayed for tender mercy
From the one who was above.
So in this storm of life
may we each remember that 'He'
is still standing there beside us
And wanting to see us through
Cast your fears upon Him
Go to him in prayer
And let Him take you by the hand
And guide you through the night.
