Thunderstorms of Life

Ominous clouds
You bring great fright,
Turning sunlight into night
But onward you go,
Moved by winds forceful flow,
Leaving behind a greyish glow.
Birds wing aloft.
Startled at first,
Fearful of coming watery burst.
Frightful thunder
Softens, turns to calm,
Bringing down peaceful balm.
Black turns to grey
Then patches of blue
Allow bright sunlight shine anew.
Image of life
Turning night into day
With nature, God’s grace shining the way.
Picture of hope.
Salvation from sin.
God’s ever love wheeling us in.
Clouds ever moving
New threats are soon born
Yet nothing now from God can be torn.
Above the clouds
Powerful sun shining bright
Dissipates the ominous night
Opening to all glorious light.
Jesus is Sun
Whose cross brings relief
To suffering sinners living in grief.
No more anxiety,
No more fear,
God’s soul-curing love ever near.
