The storm clouds of life are growing more intense <br />Winds are harshly blowing <br />Signs of Jesus’ second coming is surely showing <br /> <br />The bitterness of life’s fiercest storms roll <br />Into our lives, trials and temptations <br />Are growing stronger <br />We wonder if we can hold on any longer <br /> <br />We look to the east the storms are building up <br />We look to the west the tides of trouble roll in <br />We run and hide and promise God “oh Father <br />Save me and I will surely not commit a <br />Certain sin again! ” <br /> <br />Life is growing shorter the food supply could go <br />The waters could be poisoned <br />Then what would we do <br />Would we try to save our material goods <br />Or just leave immediately taking just ourselves and <br />Go where God leads us to go <br /> <br />If your faith was tested your mouths <br />Parched from lack of drink <br />Would you immediately follow the voice of God <br />Or would you stay determined to sort it out alone <br />As you paused to think <br /> <br />Times will surely get worse just look around you <br />Hurricanes, terrorism, floods and famines <br />Oh friends it is time our souls we examine <br />If you don’t think you can be forgiven and change <br />It is a lie straight from Satan who seeks your soul to destroy <br />There is hope still while there is yet life in your bodies <br />Yes hope for every man, women, girl, and boy <br />©Copyright 2005 Becky LaPrarie<br /><br />Becky LaPrarie<br /><br />http://www.poemhunter.com/poem/storm-clouds-are-gathering/
