Drawing Closer Through Wind and Waves

8/5/2025

When stress arrives

Or strain is near,

In blinding triumph

Or failure’s fear

Let winds and waves

Of every storm

Draw moorings tight

Your faith transform.

For God remains

The Sovereign guide,

Complete In Him

Our hopes abide.

In the winds and the waves

Of every storm,

God remains master—

Turn to Him that Jesus may form.

We’re all too shallow

To yet serve Him well

Our best intentions

Are still childish and frail.

So steadily stand

With each rise and fall,

And with each test and disaster,

You’ll grow ever closer—

To our loving Master.

“Foxes have dens, and birds have nests. But the Son of Man has no safe place to rest His head” (Matthew 8:20). Oh, His hand is enough.
