Rich Mullins - Ready For The Storm Lyrics
The waves crash in the tide rolls outIt's an angry sea but there is no doubtThat the lighthouse will keep shining outTo warn a lonely sailorAnd the lightning strikesAnd the wind cuts coldThrough the sailor's bonesThrough the sailor's soul'Til there's nothing left that he can holdExcept a rolling oceanOh I am ready for the stormYes sir readyI am ready for the stormI'm ready for the stormOh give me mercy for my dreams'Cause every confrontation seems to tell meWhat it really meansTo be this lonely sailorAnd when the sky begins to clearThe sun it melts away my fearAnd I shed a silent weary tearFor those who mean to love meOh I am ready for the stormYes sir readyI am ready for the stormI'm ready for the stormThe distance it is no real friendAnd time will take its timeAnd you will find that in the endIt brings you meThis lonely sailorAnd when You take me by the handAnd You love me, Lord, You love meAnd I should have realizedI had no reasons to be frightenedOh I am ready for the stormYes sir readyI am ready for the stormYes sir readyI am ready for the stormYes sir readyI am ready for the stormI'm ready for the storm
