Lyrics Storm Before The Calm - Michael McDonald, West Angeles Church Of God

Storm Before The Calm

As the DAYS go darker
We lose SIGHT of the dawn
We PRAY for better days
Here in PEACE we’ll carry on With the CHANCE for children
To do BETTER than we’ve done
If we can MAKE IT thru the storm before the calm
Some time in our DESPERATION
The man believe — the devil lie
Til all we’re left with thin the in Is a world of shaddered lives
We cryin out loud, so what’s compassion?
We forgive this every time
As he takes us thru the storm before the calm
And if we WORK for PEACE
We are all gonna FIND our DELIVERANCE
And if we WORK for PEACE
FIND our DELIVERANCE
If we WORK for PEACE
We’ll FIND our DELIVERANCE
As we MAKE IT thru the storm before the calm
We got to learn to find the difference
Beneath the surface were it shows
Between the when a lot of us want to turn us And what the devil — we don’t know
You gotta watch on where we’re going
Before we go to far
If we’re going to MAKE IT thru the storm before the calm
And if we WORK for PEACE
We are all gonna FIND our DELIVERANCE
And if we WORK for PEACE
FIND our DELIVERANCE
If we WORK for PEACE
We’ll FIND our DELIVERANCE
As we MAKE IT thru the storm before the calm
If we STAND — for every man
With LORD — we’ll make a way
We will REACH- a higher ground
WATCH — A Brighter day
And if we WORK for PEACE
We are all gonna FIND our DELIVERANCE
And if we WORK for PEACE
FIND our DELIVERANCE
If we WORK for PEACE
We’ll FIND our DELIVERANCE
As we MAKE IT thru the storm before the calm
If we STAND — for every man
With LORD — we’ll make a way
We will REACH- a higher ground
WATCH — A Brighter day
If we STAND — for every man
With LORD — we’ll make a way
We will REACH- a higher ground
WATCH — A Brighter day
