Storm

written after a church lock-in while watching the low grey clouds break into rain

Storm clouds building in the western sky
The trees are blooming in the predawn light
The wind is stirring and moving me
From this canyon where i can hardly see

The wind changes and rain begins to fall
Upon this dry and thirsty land
Creation rejoices as it hears Your call,
"Come near and drink of Me again"

You call us, and we will answer Your Name
You call us, and we will never be the same

We leave our broken lives
To follow Your will
Forgetting what is behind
We press toward your hill

The weather's shifted and spring has turned to fall
Everything is cold again
But i know your light soon will come
And the cold will be warm today

In Your Love

verses and pre-chorus by me, chorus by adam whipple

Your Faithfulness abounds
Even as i run, Even as i fall

You come and seek me
even in my sin
And You come and free me
so i can live again, again

And in Your Love there is Joy
In Your Joy there is Hope
In Your Hope there is Peace
And in Your Peace there is Love (2x)
But at the beginning
and still at the end
there is Love

Your Grace is undeserved
especially to a sinner like me

Saul, Saul

I watched as they hurled
the rocks at his head
held their robes, found the smoothest stones
even told them where to throw

I walked toward Damascus
with death in my hand
but i was stopped by
the Nail Scarred Hand

And He said, Saul, Saul, why do you persecute Me?
For I've chosen you to bear My Name (2x)
To the ends of the earth

As the light fades away
the darkness fills my eyes
my friends grab my hands
and lead me into town

Three days passed
before Ananias came
to bring back the light
and fill me with the Spirit

And i sang, Jesus is the Son of God
Who died and rose again (2x)
For the sins of the earth

Since that day
i've endured many things
many perils and
many storms

I have learned
that it's not my strength
but in my weakness
the Lord is Strong

So i sing, Your Grace is sufficient for me
For Your Power's made perfect (2x)
In my weakness
