Like the Wind*


September 2002, More lyrics to Pastor Phil's songs (written during a tropical storm)

 


Why are You likened to the wind?
gentle breezes and furious din
uncontrollable, unpredictable too
is there something I should learn about You?

Why are You likened to the wind?
at once refreshing, and then dangerous again
appearing suddenly, disappearing so soon
is there something I should learn about You?

Why are You likened to the wind?
one moment yearned for, the next I'm frightened
where it comes from, where it goes, I've no clue
is there something I should learn about You?

 

* I'm on some kind of roll here. Lately, illustrations in nature pop up, and capture my attention. While studying the text of the parable of the Two Foundations (one man built his house on a rock, and others built their houses without a solid foundation), I walked outside to sit and watch tropical storm Gustav blast through the yard, while playing on my twelve-string guitar. The above li'l ditty was the result.

Gustav was upgraded to the first Hurricane of the 2002 season today (9/11/2002), but it's far enough off the coast not to be a problem here in Salem.
