Ready for the Storm Lyrics

The waves crash in, the tide rolls out
It's an angry sea, but there is no doubt
That the lighthouse will keep shining out
To warn a lonely sailor
And the lightning strikes
And the wind cuts cold
To the sailor's bones
To the sailor's soul
Till there's nothing left that he can hold
Except a rolling ocean
CHORUS:
Oh, I am ready for the storm
Yes, sir, ready
I am ready for the storm
I'm ready for the storm
Oh, give me mercy for my dreams

'Cause every confrontation seems to tell me
What it really means
To be this lonely sailor
And when the sky begins to clear
The sun, it melts away my fear
And I shed a silent weary tear
For those who seem to love me
CHORUS
The distance, it is no real friend
And time will take it's time
And you will find that in the end
It brings you me
This lonely sailor
And when You take me by the hand
And You love me, LORD, You love me
And I should've realized
I had no reasons to be frightened
CHORUS
