Lean Into The Storm

When the sky turns black and the thunder calls my name

When the winds of doubt come crashing in again

I could run for cover, hide beneath the fear

But something in my spirit says the breakthrough’s near

So I lean into the storm

With my scars and hope both worn

Every lightning strike reminds me I’m alive

And though the rain cuts deep tonight

I can see beyond the fight

Sometimes faith means standing in the fire to survive

The waves keep rising higher than I thought that I could stand

But peace was never promised on the safety of dry land

No, courage isn’t absence, it’s trembling while you move

It’s trusting there’s a purpose in what you’re walking through

So I lean into the storm

Not away from what transforms

Every battle leaves behind a stronger soul

And even when the night won’t break

I refuse to walk away

Because redemption waits beyond the thunder roll

And maybe the storm came

Not to drown me in the rain

But to wash away the fear I used to hold

Maybe the pain became

The very thing that pulled these chains

And taught my heart to be brave in the cold

So let the heavens roar

I’m not afraid anymore

I’ve learned the darkest skies can still bring light

I’ll plant my feet, lift my hands

Trust the One who understands

And keep leaning through the storm into the night

Into the night

Into the storm

Into the arms

Of something greater than before
