Blocks on the rug, cars on the floor.
I play and play — then hear a roar.
Blocks on the rug, cars on the floor.
I play and play — then hear a roar.
BOOM! goes the thunder, loud and deep.
I stop. I freeze. I almost weep.
BOOM! goes the thunder, loud and deep.
I stop. I freeze. I almost weep.
Pitter-patter, boom-boom-boom!
I run to Mama, across the room.
Pitter-patter, boom-boom-boom!
I run to Mama, across the room.
Her lap is soft, her arms are warm.
She holds me safe inside the storm.
Her lap is soft, her arms are warm.
She holds me safe inside the storm.
'When I'm afraid,' she whispers near,
'I trust in God — for God is here.'
'When I'm afraid,' she whispers near,
'I trust in God — for God is here.'
I whisper too, soft as can be:
'You're near, dear God. Stay near to me.'
I whisper too, soft as can be:
'You're near, dear God. Stay near to me.'
The thunder booms, the raindrops fall.
But God is near — He hears it all.
The thunder booms, the raindrops fall.
But God is near — He hears it all.
I'm safe. I'm held. The storm rolls by.
God is near — my tears can dry.
I'm safe. I'm held. The storm rolls by.
God is near — my tears can dry.
The End
When Thunder Booms
Your child just heard: Psalm 56:3 gives words for fear: “When I am afraid, I put my trust in you.” The storm is still loud, but the child is held, helped, and invited to whisper trust.
