Rich Mullins - Ready For The Storm Lyrics

The waves crash in The tide rolls out It's an angry sea But there is no doubt That the lighthouse Will keep shining out To warn a lonely sailor

And the lightning strikes And the wind cuts cold Through the sailor's bones Through the sailor's soul 'Til there's nothing left That he can hold Except a rolling ocean

Oh, I am ready for the storm Yes, sir, ready I am ready for the storm I'm ready for the storm

Oh, give me mercy For my dreams 'Cause every confrontation seems To tell me What it really means To be this lonely sailor

And when the sky begins to clear The sun it melts away my fear And I cry a silent weary tear For those who mean to love me

Oh, I am ready for the storm Yes, sir, ready I am ready for the storm I'm ready for the storm

The distance it is no real friend And time will take its time And you will find that in the end It brings you me This lonely sailor

And when You take me by the hand And You love me, Lord, You love me And I should have realized I had no reasons to be frightened

Oh, I am ready for the storm Yes, sir, ready I am ready for the storm Yes, sir, ready I am ready for the storm Yes, sir, ready I am ready for the storm I'm ready for the storm
