When the clouds loom dark and large,
And the thunder rumbles loud,
God is not behind it,
But is on this side of the cloud.

When our hearts are full of fear,
And we cannot find our way;
He is right beside us,
And the night shines as the day.

He knows the weary way,
For His feet this earth have trod;
And He will not forsake us,
As we tread the thorny road.

As the day our strength will be,
While we journey to our rest;
His arms are underneath us,
And in Him we will be blest.

So do not fear the cloud,
Which spreads across the way;
For soon we will be with Him,
And our night will turn to day.

FRAGMENT
"And His disciples came to Him, and awoke Him, saying, Lord, save us:we perish. And He saith
unto them, why are ye fearful, 0 ye of little faith? Then He arose, and rebuked the winds and the
sea; and there was a great calm. But the men marveled, saying, What manner of man is this, that
even the winds and the sea obey Him!" (Matt. 8:25-28).
