Clouds - Intellectual

[Verse 1]

I wouldn't care for the sun

If daylight was all that I knew

So thank God for the clouds that come

And paint black over placid blue

It's a lesson in resilience

I'll scream and pray and I'll get through this

It's always dark before the dawn

Clichéd I know but prove it wrong

I guess the hardship of the last few years

Has turned me into at least a fragment of who I can be

And the tempering I never asked for

Has made me stronger and has helped my eyes to see only You

Even when they are failing

Rorschach your shapes

Are hanging in the sky like omens

But I am not defined or bound by them

I am redeemed by Christ, my hope's in Him

He's all I need for this life

And all I'll ever need for all that's after

Oh God, please come and fill me now

Life is empty without You

Without You

I guess the hardship of the last few years

Has turned me into at least a fragment of who I can be
