I told the storm to release the hold on me

My life and soul it will not  retreive

For I belong to God and I will succeed

He is the only one who has control over me

I Told The Sorm

To get back  and move on, apart of it I will never be

I give you no room for it to rage in my life

Forever I will put up a great fight

And I am  guaranteed to win

For you..... no, I will never sin

I Told The Storm

To stay out of my path

 From it I do not need a bath

And you will not  destroy me

I am covered by the man can't you see

So you move right alone

And seek another victim

By you I am not  nor am I ever tempted

I Told The Storm

If I just have to endure you

I will continue to stand strong and  I will get through

You will never have power over me

You might come hard and even bring a strong wind

But you will never ever get under my skin

I Told The Storm

This is not your  world and it does not belong

That is why it never will last very long

When it comes, I always make it cease

In my life it will never leave a crease

I Told The storm

You will go away

You will not stir up in my life today

There is no way

I am so happy and no matter what, I will be each and every day

I Told The Storm
