Univited
Yet it still arrives
Unapologetic
In the wake of all it will disturb
Its presence seeks an audience
Its power strives to be seen
And its noise demands to be heard
Look at me, it shouts
Be afraid of what damage I may do
Watch as my wind howls
Breaking anything that seeks to stand in its way
This storm intrudes
Invades
Interrupts
It is void of care
It has no intention of cleaning up any of its devastation
The storm we see in the natural
Is only rivaled by the storm that is scent in the spiritual
This storm also roars
But its prey is far more sinister
This storm, the storm of life
Feeds of our fears and seeks to destroy our destinies
These storms are assignments of darkness
To bring adversity and cause upheaval
To disorient and confuse
To kill, steal and destroy
The storms of challenge and conflict
The violent winds of pain and hardship
Storms that threaten relationships
And play on insecurities
No one is immune from the storms of life
From the bad news, the testing times
Loss and abuse
From the betrayal and disappointment
Anxiety or torment
We all have storms
But when did we forget, that we all have a voice?
You have the words to silence the winds
You have the confession to calm the confusion
You have the light to illuminate the dark
Your storm may be on the horizon
Or you may be in its eye
But no matter where this finds you
You must find your voice
Find your song and sing
Find your promise and persist
Find your faith and fight
Find your voice and speak to the storm
There was a time when Jesus and the
disciples found their situation suddenly change
Remeber the story when they were in a storm
The storm ripped through the calm and it began to rage
Out of nowhere the simple boat journey became the most testing trial
The wind blew and the waves grew
The storm threw some into panic
They allowed fear to speak and lost sight of the fight
Others they couldn't see a way out and so began to [?]
Yet there was one
There was one who was asleep
Asleep in the storm
It did its best to disturb him but He slept
Woken by those, who had let fear take a hold
Jesus spoke
To the storm
He said be still
To the chaos
He spoke calm
To the fearful
He spoke faith
And to the dark
He brought light
Jesus spoke
And the storm surrendered
You have the same power to bring order
And you have the words to advance and take on the warfare
Don't allow your voice to be silenced by the storm
Wake up
Worship
Declare His goodness
Sing of His faithfulness
Speak His peace
And wage war with the words of life
The greatest miracles can happen in the storm
The miracles of our awakening to the power that is so often [?] within
Miracles happen when you speak to the storm
When we answer back to its threat with boldness and trust
Miracles are found when the word is spoken out loud
Drowning out the lies with the declaration of truth
The miracle is in your mouth
The storm can not withstand the
weapon of worship and the arsenal of prayer
We all have storms
But we all have a voice
So speak to the storm
So sing
Sing until you see the still
Praise
Praise until the promise comes
Believe
Believe until the breakthrough
Declare
Declare until the dawn has come
And fight
Fight with faith until all the fear is gone
Find your voice
Chose your song
We all have storms
But we all have a voice
So speak
Speak to the storm
