THE CALM OF MY STORM

When I’m down and feeling so empty
When my eyes are full of tears because of pains
When I’m helpless, broken into pieces
Yet I know You are always there for me

Though there are times I suffer from heartaches
And my soul is pierced with sorrows and griefs
Fears and worries overflow inside me
Yet my heart still trusts in You my Lord my King

You are The Calm of my storm
You are my Hiding Place
I trust in Your unfailing love
You are The Refuge of my soul
You are my Shelter and my Shield
I give You my hidden heart
And all the things that I can’t bear

I Hold on to Your love and kindness
You comfort me and mend these broken wings
Father here I am searching and longing
In You alone, I will dwell in Your promises

You are The Calm of my storm
You are my Hiding Place
I trust in Your unfailing love
You are The Refuge of my soul
You are my Shelter and my Shield
I give You my hidden heart
And all the things that I can’t bear

You are The Refuge of my soul
You are my Shelter and my Shield
I give You my hidden heart
And all the things that I can’t bear


THE STORY BEHIND THE SONG "THE CALM OF MY STORM" by Metos Binay-an
I came to know the Lord, Jesus at a very young age through my aunt who is a strong believer in Christ. As a 9-year-old child, I have the joy of reading my bible, the joy of praying for families and for other people. The overwhelming joy of going to home bible studies and attending Sunday Services.
Though I have this childhood foundation–growing up wasn't easy at all. I have a lot of questions. Then I started to doubt the presence of God in my life but my heart refused to give up in believing the Good God.
I've been through many trials but what happened to me in 2008 was one of my darkest moments in life. It was my first time to work overseas and I was suffering from extreme pain and at the same time I was struggling in my relationship with my family. I never expect in my entire life to be caught in a situation that brought me a horrible trauma. I was full of fears and worries but the Holy Spirit led me to think of all the things I enjoyed doing when I was a child then He helped me to thank the Lord even if my mind refused to.
I was alone in my room crying and shouting out of anger, I read out loud every verse challenging HIM. Then I fell asleep and woke up with inner peace and strength within me.
The next day, I was able to write this song–the song says it all.
