Lyrics for anyone who needs. A STORM WITHIN ME RAGES, IT WARS, AGAINST MY SOUL BUT MY FAITH IS ANCHORED IN YOU LORD, SO THINGS ARE IN CONTROL SO MANY TIMES I'VE FAILED YOU, BUT STILL YOU HELD MY HAND AND I'M GLAD THAT I, CAN TALK TO YOU, FOR YOU ALWAYS UNDERSTAND CHORUS: YOU'VE NEVER ONCE QUIT LOVING ME, THOUGH TRAILS, HAD MADE ME COLD YOUR FAITHFULNESS, HAS BEEN SO SWEET, AND YOUR MERCIES TOUCHED MY SOUL OH FATHER I REACH OUT TO YOU, PLEASE HELP ME REACH THE GOAL AND I'M GLAD TO KNOW BECAUSE OF YOU, HEAVEN WILL BE MY HOME SHORT T/A 2) I NEED YOUR STRENGTH OH GOD EACH DAY FOR I, AM, AND FRAIL CAUSE THE WINDS AND TRIALS THAT HAVE COME MY WAY I HAVEN'T HANDLED TO WELL MY SOUL CRIES OUT FOR ME TO STAND, UPON YOUR FAITHFUL WORD OH GOD, YOU KNOW, I STILL BELIEVE, PLEASE BRING ME THROUGH THIS STORM REPEAT CHORUS TAG YES I'M GLAD TO KNOW BECAUSE OF YOU HEAVEN WILL BE MY HOME
As far as I can tell, the first person to record this song was Nancy Harmon in 1980. Janet Paschal recorded it as a member of the Rex Nelon Singers the following year. Betty Jean Robinson wrote this song though.
Beautiful music! That Merle could sing like no other! I still listen to him sing/music everyday! Love this song and he sings it so beautifully! Janelle In Houston
Of all the personnel lineups for the Stamps, this is my favorite. Jerry Trammel is a hugely underrated tenor and he and Jack Toney had a great blend. Unfortunately, this group was only together for about one year.
