yet there's no fear in my being
  of things that I might lose
  and I feel no need to chase
  away this storm or brawny blues

  because I know who loves me
  and I have no need for 'naught' 
  and I know that what is - IS!
  and what is not - IS NOT!

  So it's all right tonight
  my heart rests peacefully,
  contentment doesn't languish 
  but finds my soul well fed,
  home-comforted , bread-warm
  in this GOD-IS-AWESOME storm!

  And all my rooms are filled 
  there's no stalwart vacancy
  nor pain where tears once fell
  because I find that in this house
  all I’ll ever need  is the One
  who made the rain. . .
