When the storm subsides
And the wind stops howling,
Listen to the silence;
It will speak to you.
Hang in there just some more,
This too shall pass.
The fear will fade;
You are brave.
When love restores your faith,
And trust births in you again;
He will absolve you of all
That now crowds your guilt.
Some more faith,
Some more love,
And all shall pass.
And all shall pass.
