The Storm...by Me

Before the storm, I'm full of pride,
Before the storm, there's no warmth inside,
Before the storm, I know not suffering,
Before the storm, I'm only prospering,
Before the storm, I'm so very blind,
Before the storm, I have a limited mind,
Before the Storm, I have no assist,
Before the storm, the world is hard to resist.

In the Storm is where I'm broken,
In the storm is where my eyes are open,
In the storm is where I'm strengthened,
In the storm, my wisdom is lengthened,
In the storm I see heartbreak,
In the storm is where hypocrites forsake,
In the storm I am isolated,
In the storm, my Spirit is rejuvenated,

After the storm, I'm humbled,
After the Storm, my true friends are assembled,
After the storm, I can relate,
After the storm, my testimony is high rate,
After the storm, I know how pit bottom looks,
After the Storm, my wisdom surpasses normal books,
After the storm, I can see what I have missed,
After the Storm, my life has Jesus-assist.
