In the Eye of the Hurricane

They say there's calm in the eye of the hurricane
Right in the middle
As the storms brew and churn
Peace in the midst of heartache
Reflective pause despite pain and misery
A whisper of hope amid the rubble

They say there's calm in the eye of the hurricane
Look down through the eye of this storm, Lord
Send peace to quell its terror
Clear pathways to aid rescue
Stay tides from overflowing
Quicken hearts to help

They say there's calm in the eye of the hurricane
Dear God calm us
Guide us
Help us
Lead us
To the eye of the hurricane where there is peace.
