[hometext] => A cataclysmic change of heart and mind.
[bodytext] => Darkness and night, day then night, I see; wave then cloud on a stormy sea, - oh' me. The suns' so hot, the moon so cold; I'm all alone, tossed too and fro. My strength is gone, the pain severe; everything is lost I once held dear. I'm caught up in misery and woe, started drifting a long time ago. Can I find help, someone to care, someone who, my danger will share? If God be real - could he be near, of my plight and petition to hear? I'll pray to him - might he hear my plea, and undertake a rescue for me? I have no recourse, I'm at my last breath, only a miracle will save me from death: The death of my soul, without remedy, for all eternity down under the sea. What is this presence I feel in the boat, while losing the struggle to stay afloat? Oh' what a comfort, this presence so dear, bringing such mercy, to replace my fear. Finally my misery changes to calm. I dread, no more deaths melancholy psalm. So, blow on o' gale, do what you will; my flesh you can have, my soul you can't kill. Mercy, at last, has been given to me, and freed me from turmoil upon the sea. Rom.8:18 " For I recon that the sufferings of this present time are not worthy to be compared with the glory that shall be revealed in us". 1Cor.15:55 "Oh death, where is thy sting; oh grave, where is thy victory?
