You are the temple of the living God
(2 Corinthians 6:16; NLT).
1. Tempests rage
Beyond this church,
Yet all is calm inside.
2. Whirlwinds roar
Beyond these walls,
So here, Lord God, I hide.
3. Floods rise up
Beyond these doors,
But I will fear no ill,
4. For though life ends
Beyond this place,
You whisper: Peace, be still.
