Sometimes He Comes In The Clouds

By Steven Curtis Chapman, "My Utmost for His Highest" CD Vol. 1

"In the Bible clouds are always associated with God. Clouds are the sorrows, sufferings, or providential circumstances, within or without our personal lives, which actually seem to contradict the sovereignty of God. Yet it is through these very clouds that the Spirit of God is teaching us how to walk by Faith. They are a sign that God is there."

These are the places I was so sure I'd find Him
I've looked in the pages And I've looked down on my knees
I've lifted my eyes in expectation to see the sun still refusing to shine, but...

Chorus:
Sometimes He comes in the clouds.
Sometimes His face cannot be found
Sometimes the sky is dark and gray
But some things can only be known
And sometimes our faith can only grow
When we can't see
So, sometimes He comes in the clouds

Sometimes I see me, a sailor out on the ocean
So brave and so sure,
As long as the skies are clear
But when the clouds start to gather,
I watch my faith turn to fear, but...

Sometimes He comes in the rain
And we question the pain
And wonder how God can seem so far away
But time will show us
He was right there with us.
