‘Master of All’

I woke up this morning thinking to exercise and post something I had previously written. It almost happened that way. I had started this in February wrote the first verse and the chorus and then couldn’t finish it. I ran across it this morning and God moved me to complete it. I hope you enjoy it.

May you feel and recognize God moving in your life today and always!
John

‘Master of All’

When your day seems dark and dreary
When a storm lies up ahead
The horizon fills with clouds
Threatens paths that you must tread
Don’t despair or in fear cower
Don’t run and hide somewhere
Don’t give up hope or turn to violence
Stop and say this simple prayer

Great and gracious God, Master of all
Help me to remember when fear comes to call
That you’ve promised to love, made an oath to protect
Each and ev’ry one of, our souls on our trek
Through the journey we walk on
Ev’ry hour of each day, You will love us and hold us
And if we stop to pray
We will know that you are right there ,
Alongside us, dear God

When your mood turns black and ugly
When you start to lose control
Your people skills have failed you
Your heart’s no longer whole
Don’t despair or in fear cower
Don’t run and hide somewhere
Don’t give up hope or turn to violence
Stop and say this simple prayer

Great and gracious God, Master of all
Help me to remember when hurt comes to call
That you’ve promised to love, made an oath to protect
Each and ev’ry one of, our souls on our trek
Through the journey we walk on
Ev’ry hour of each day,
You will love us and hold us
And if we stop to pray
We will know that you are right there , alongside us, dear God

When disaster is threatening
When all hope seems gone
When your dreams are all shattered
Everything’s going wrong
Don’t despair or in fear cower
Don’t run and hide somewhere
Don’t give up hope or turn to violence
Stop and say this simple prayer

Great and gracious God, Master of all
Help me to remember when despair comes to call
That you’ve promised to love, made an oath to protect
Each and ev’ry one of, our souls on our trek
Through the journey we walk on
Ev’ry hour of each day,
You will love us and hold us
And if we stop to pray
We will know that you are right there , alongside us, dear God
