The Storm Is Upon Us
The Spirit is moving Out over the deep The storm is upon us This is no time to sleep
Our sons in foreign countries Fight an elusive foe The more we struggle in the mire The deeper in we go
If the storm keeps on raging, the dam is going to break The walls are crumbling; the foundations are going to shake
In the mystic garden There was a fine mist in the air It was too thin to feel it But I knew the Spirit was there
So I posed a question, and gave it to Him I said what do we do about This mess we’re in He said roll away the grave stone Then I’ll give a shout: Lazarus you’ve been dead too long It’s time to come out
If the storm keeps on raging, the dam is going to break The walls are crumbling; the foundations are going to shake
Well where can I go to do this I think I’ll go to church today But when I got there I found that Their games got in the way
Yes they seek the light it’s true But it’s in the shadows they reside It’s time to come out of our graves And get cleaned up inside
If the storm keeps on raging, the dam is going to break The walls are crumbling; the foundations are going to shake
We took God and prayer are out of our schools Now death and mayhem Have come to rule We reach for our solutions But we just look like fools
Let’s remove the grave cloths And shake off the blight Then we will see clearly The path that is right
The Spirit is moving out over the deep The storm is upon us This is no time to sleep

I think God wants us to wake up and realize that developing our relationship to Him is more important than our personal agendas. I also think that many if not most churches today are doing a great job telling us about God, but not showing us how to experience God.
