They didn't understand why He didn't come
As they made their way toward the other side
As they left the shore, they faced the storm
And suddenly, they feared for their lives
But upon the sea there Someone walked
On the water as they listened for His cry
And soon they heard Him call their names
And tenderly He said, "It is I."
He's the I of the storm
The center of my calm
The place where I find shelter
The place where I find warmth
The center of my ways
The keeper of my days
When I can't feel the sun shine
And my ship is tossed and torn
He's the I of the storm
They couldn't understand how the Prince of Peace
Could find them in the middle of the sea
But with little faith and God's good grace
Joy would overcome their desperate pleas
Now there are times in life when I face the storm
And I wonder if I ever will survive
That's when I hear Him call out my name
And tenderly He says, "It is I."
He's the I of the storm
The center of my calm
The place where I find shelter
The place where I find warmth
The center of my ways
The keeper of my days
When I can't feel the sun shine
And my ship is tossed and torn
He's the I of the storm
Do not fear when He is near
Take hold of His strong hand
Listen closely to His words
He's the Great I AM
He's the I of the storm
The center of my calm
The place where I find shelter
The place where I find warmth
The center of my ways
The keeper of my days
When I can't feel the sun shine
And my ship is tossed and torn
He's the I of the storm
