I've been watching the skies
They've been turning blood red
Not a doubt in my mind anymore
There's a storm up ahead

Hello hurricane
You're not enough
Hello hurricane
You can't silence my love
I've got doors and windows boarded up
All your dead end fury is not enough
You can't silence my love

Everything I have I count as loss
Everything I have is stripped away
Before I started building
I counted up these costs
There's nothing left for you to take away

Hello hurricane
You're not enough
Hello hurricane
You can't silence my love
I've got doors and windows boarded up
All your dead end fury is not enough
You can't silence my love
My love

I'm a fighter fighting for control
I'm a fighter fighting for my soul
Everything inside of me surrenders
You can't silence my love

Hello hurricane
You're not enough
Hello hurricane
You can't silence my love
I've got doors and windows boarded up
All your dead end fury is not enough
You can't silence my love

This is my favorite song at the moment. Switchfoot seems to be able to get past my disdain for unnecessary screaming in a song and still surprise me with simple lyrics that mean something to me.

Maybe it's the timing of it too. Kris and I were just discussing the storm that seems to hover near us of late. I tend to think it is not so much that a storm is coming but that a storm is near and threatening and the clouds are trying desperately to convince me to fear. I feel the wind and I see the colors in the sky but I do not trust in force of the wind, I trust in the one who the wind obeys.

I recently read this verse again...
"A thousand shall fall at thy side, and ten thousand at thy right hand; but it shall not come nigh thee." Psalm 91:7

And this morning it was this one...
"I will bless the LORD, who hath given me counsel: my reins also instruct me in the night seasons. I have set the LORD always before me: because he is at my right hand, I shall not be moved. Therefore my heart is glad, and my glory rejoiceth: my flesh also shall rest in hope." Psalm 16:7-9

That's where I live.

Hello hurricane, you are certainly not enough.
