The Storm Is Over
by Barbara Philbrook

The storm is over and in the past.
We've returned from the evacuation at last.

The damage is minimal with cleaning up to be done.
I hear thankful praises from most everyone.

We've been spared as this one went on by.
By the grace of God we weren't hit by the eye.

We never saw the damage forecast on TV,
so we thank You God for Your loving generosity.

Some homes were damaged and trees fell to the ground,
but the damage is minimal as we look around.

We offer prayers for any suffering from the storm,
and petition God to give them an inner calm.

Prepare us Father for any future storms coming our way.
May we all be surrendered to You today.
