Inspired by lyrics to “Centered in the Storm” by Richard Mekdeci, Karen Taylor-Good & Richard Patier”
“I close my eyes and calm my soul, I feel the Truth within me and I let It take control.
I’m centered in the storm and I know I’m not alone,
The thunder is the voice of God leading me home.
When I’m centered in the storm where it’s always safe and warm,
I see a beacon in the night keeping me centered in the storm ….
Fed by the love that exists in all creation and I will never drift off course.
Faith is my anchor and God is my Source…. and set adrift upon this changing sea, I’m right where I’m supposed to be ….”
