Hold back the storm-delay the rain
Hold waves at bay-to stay man's pain
Roll away the clouds-let sun shine again
Delay the storm-till love ones come in
Too many good people-are gonna be lost
We must help them find-their way to the cross
Must open their eyes-so that they can see
The storm that is coming-so they can flee
Hold back the storm-postpone the hail
Rein in the wind-and trim each sail
Restrain the ocean-and tame every gale
Delay the storm-let mercy prevail
Hold back the storm---make tides subside
No undertow-and no riptide
Provide a harbour-where all saints can hide
Delay the storm-till all are inside
Just a few more days Lord-maybe they will heed
Let them see you're the harbour-the shelter that they need
