We prepared before the storm,
Boarding up windows and our doors;
“This is the worst one!” we were told;
We prayed and hoped our nails would hold.
Strong, fast winds swirled; tornadoes came!
“Go to your safe room!” news proclaimed;
So in our closet, we did hide . . .
Until the threat passed us on by.
Another storm will come someday;
All should prepare—to Jesus pray:
He is our safe place from this storm—
The only way to heaven’s door.
God punished Him on Calvary;
He loved and died for you and me;
He bore the judgment for our sins;
His precious blood cleans us within.
Come to the Savior and be safe—
He’ll save you by His loving grace:
Believe in Him, for heaven prepare;
He’ll share with us its mansions fair!
