A Hymn for the Lord of the Storm - A New Hymn

Every so often I take it upon myself to write a new hymn - or at least new words for old hymn tunes.  And that is what I have done for this week's scripture readings.  Here is A Hymn for the Lord of the Storm

Over the seas his voice is heard
the glorious God thunders,
the Lord is over mighty waves
his echoing voice is strong.

O children of the Lord,
give glory and give strength,
give to the Lord the glory due;
bow down in his splendor.

We hear the sound of crashing storms
and still we will not fear
the storm winds blow with lightning flash
but we remain secure.

And if we pass through burning flames
we trust in his great name
the fire will not consume our lives
the Holy One is sure.


The scripture readings on which this hymn is based are: Psalm 29 and Isaiah 43: 1 - 7
The tune is Lord, Fill My Craving Heart
