Jesus Calling

what do you see when you look,
at your world today,
is it so full of clutter,
that you feel like you're going insane,
& you can't fight back,
cause you're just too afraid,
& it seems like the clouds in your sky,
don't wanna change,
you see there's always another story,
another side to every coin,
& how you see your circumstance,
is all about a choice.
`
CHORUS
when you see the rushing wind,
feel the pouring rain,
hear the thunder now,
as the clouds roll in,
you're blinded by the lightning,
do you also hear
that still small voice saying,
it's okay, you're not alone,
you may be scared to death,
but I won't let you go,
you may think the sky above is falling,
but can you hear Jesus calling.
`
what do you see when you look,
at your world today
do you see a glimmer of hope,
or has it all turned to gray
well start by counting,
your blessings one by one
oh & I'm sure right there,
you'll start to see the sun
you see there's always another story,
another side to every coin
& how you see your circumstance
is all about a choice
`
CHORUS
because the darker the night,
the brighter He can shine
