Light Above the Storm Clouds

So often in the valley
When storms sweep all away,
When darkness reigns around us
And turns to night the day,

Then sometimes it is easy
To fail to call to mind
There’s light above the storm clouds
As soon again we’ll find.

Until light breaks upon us
To bring new hope and cheer,
We know that You are with us –
You know each groan, each tear.

For You see just as fully
In darkness as in light,
And clouds can’t block Your mercy
Which finds us in the night.

And someday soon You’ll banish
All darkness, pain, and fear;
You’ll be our light, our sunshine –
We’ll see that You are near.

Lord, till that day of glory
We’ll trust You every day
Because we know You’re with us
Each step along the way.
