HOLD BACK THE STORM By Everett Adams

Hold back the storm—delay the rain

Hold waves at bay—to stay man’s pain

Roll away the clouds—let sun shine again

Delay the storm—till love ones come in

CHORUS

Too many good people—are gonna be lost

We must help them find—their way to the cross

Must open their eyes–so that they can see

The storm that is coming—so they can flee

Hold back the storm—postpone the hail

Rein in the wind—and trim each sail

Restrain the ocean—and tame every gale

Delay the storm—let mercy prevail

REPEAT CHORUS

Hold back the storm–--make tides subside

No undertow—and no riptide

Provide a harbour—where all saints can hide

Delay the storm—till all are inside

REPEAT CHORUS

BRIDGE: Just a few more days Lord—maybe they will heed

Let them see you’re the harbour—the shelter that they need
