A Quiet Place Inside The Storm

Jamal Upshaw 1954 (NYC)

Free verse
a quiet place inside the storm
with God’s embrace
i shall say to all
that keeps me warm
all along the way home
thus he shelters me
and it makes me hold
he turns my spirit into gold
faith dwells inside me
while it takes control
when i kneel to pray
faith let me know
that everything will be okay
when i submit to the will of God
His embrace that keeps me warm
a quiet place inside the storm
where prayer is my shield and sword
because prayer answers all
