Key of G · 117 BPM · 4/4 · Praise · Matthew 14:29-31

Verse 1

Standing firm in the storm
Is my Savior and guide:
As I'm sinking He holds out His hand.
Though I'm tossed to and fro
As I walk thru the waves,
If there's one who can save me, He can.

Chorus 1

In the dark of des-pair,
I turn my head, He is there,
And a-gain I am a-ble to stand.
Joy re-turns to my soul,
By His grace, I am whole;
Praise His Name, for I now under-stand:
He a-lone holds my life in His hand!

Verse 2

As the storm fills the night,
He is still in my sight,
And I know He won't leave me to fail.
When it seems I can't stand,
"Peace, be still" He com-mands,
And the storm stops its endless tra-vail.

Chorus 2

As the night turns to day,
I re-joice and I pray,
Giving thanks I am a-ble to stand.
Joy re-turns to my soul:
I am free! I am whole!
Praise His Name, for I now under-stand:
He a-lone holds my life in His hand!
