[Verse 1]
After the storm is over, when you are safe on land;
slackened your clinging fingers; the lifeline loose in your hand,
sweet the joy of salvation~ knowing you have come through~
knowing a life was given for the saving of you.

[Chorus]
Oh, help us love our Saviour, re'lise how great His gift~
dying in loving kindness when we were lost adrift.
Oh, help us love more deeply the One who gave us hope,
knowing when we were drowning He died to "throw the rope."

[Verse 2]
After the storm is over; freed from sin's swamping wave;
freed by the death of Jesus from the sting of the grave;
sweet the joy of salvation, knowing He brought you through~
your lifeline deep conviction anchored on Him, for you.

[Chorus]

[Verse 3]
After the storm is over; vanquished the host of sin;
silenced the raging tempest; pure, then, the peace within;
eternal bliss enfolding; safely on heaven's shore~
all because Jesus suffered, opening heaven's door.

[Chorus]
