As storm clouds gather,
Jesus is by my side;
He makes the adversary cringe,
He makes him want to hide.

When the tears flow so strong,
He gives me peace of mind;
My soul is quiet in the gale,
There is joy in Him, I find.

The road is often hard and rough,
The days are too often long;
But with Jesus at my side,
I can remain so strong.

When sadness creeps into my day,
I think of Jesus and smile;
He has been so good to me,
He walks with me mile after mile.

Out of this valley I soon will climb,
And when I reach the mountain's peak;
I know who I will find waiting,
And with Jesus I will speak.
