The Storm's Call
This song is an attempt to imagine what it must be like for those who survived the huricane Katrina.
In response to nature’s forecast the little girl began to pack
Her mom said to take what she treasured most and put it in a sack
Now she stood in twisted rubble with the breeze in her hair
Gazing at where her room once was where she forgot her teddy bear
Tears streamed down her face as she recalled her faithful friend
Lost somewhere in the ugly mess she would never see him again
The rain fell, the wind blew, the floods came and washed all dreams away
So broken, so crippled, and nowhere a sign for the light of day
This calling to wake up and rebuild your life all anew
Is so that this time you build it on Him who will hold you
Roaming through his neighborhood the boy couldn’t understand
That this was where he grew up and knew like the palm of his hand
He couldn’t even find his school where all his friends were made
It was all just a memory now and made the poor boy afraid
Everything he knew, everything he was had vanished in the air
What is yet to be is uncertain and what was, now was no longer there
The rain fell, the wind blew, the floods came and washed all dreams away
So broken, so crippled, and nowhere a sign for the light of day
This calling to wake up and rebuild your life all anew
Is so that this time you build it on Him who will hold you

I girl came to my ballet today from Mississippi. I felt so bad for her. She seemed kinda sad, and i felt horrible when putting myself in her shoes, of having to move to a new city because you're whole world had been turned like literally upside down. I'll be praying for her and an opportunity to witness to her.

thanks for the reminder of how we must build a strong foundation on Christ alone! It reminds me of the Psalm that says "God is our refuge and strength, an ever- present help in trouble. therefore we will not fear." Continue to pray for our friends in the south.
