1. When a gale lifts restless waves,
I think of you, Lord,
Quieting the storm.
2. When a squall makes forests roar,
I think of you, Lord,
Marching in the trees.
3. When I’m dazzled by the sun,
I think of you, Lord,
Clothed in brilliant light.
4. When I’m overwhelmed by fear,
I think of you, Lord,
Pleading in the night.
