Winds blow hard in the front yard
Go away Irene

culling the dead
picking up the pieces
the little shards
the bits and branches
cleaning up the mess
culling the dead
the wind and the rain
a mess for us to clean up
to make it the same

Within the arms of the storm
Our thoughts to so many others
While the wind whipped around us
Continuing through this day
Within the arms of the storm
Thinking about family, friends,
Our brothers and sisters
Struggling in the wake
Within the storm’s fury
Yet singing Your praises
Your presence with us
Comfort even in trials
In the arms of our Savior
In the presence of God
Holding us in the storms
In the trials of our lives

Came to Me
Not just came with me
Following the Christ
Not just sheep, choosing this path
The words of the hymn
The joy of the Savior
The disciples came to me
Walking with me
The dance continuing
In the believers
Those who followed
Who answered Christ’s call
We do, joining with them
In singing his praises
In dancing with God

Singing prayers and praises
Together, as a body
a family together
gathered for one another
lifting prayers
for others, out of love
singing prayers
lifting praises
to heaven above
giving ourselves over
to the calling of the Lord
gathered together in the storm
offering our witness
to his life, evermore
