Hurricane- Jimmy Needham

I have built a city here Half with pride and half with fear
Just wanted a safer place to hide
I don’t want to be safe tonight

CHORUS
I need You like a hurricane
Thunder crashing, wind and rain
To tear my walls down
I’m only Yours now
I need you like a burning flame
A wild fire untamed
To burn these walls down
I’m only Yours now
I’m only Yours now

I am Yours and You are mine
You know far better than I
And if destruction’s what I need
Then I’ll receive it Lord from Thee
Yes, I’ll receive it Lord from Thee

(Chorus)

And it’s Your eye in the storm
Watching over me
And it’s Your eye in the storm
Wanting only good for me
And if You are the war
Let me be the casualty
‘Til I’m Yours alone
I am only Yours
I am Yours alone, Lord

(Chorus)

Come be my hurricane

Behind the Song:
”Though it’s an uncomfortable thought, before God can really begin to use a person for His purposes, He must break that person. Brokenness is not a popular idea in our culture, but there is usually no sweeter time of intimacy with God than when He takes our life, our sinful habits, and destroys them so that He can build us up again. Yes the LORD is a loving father; yes He is our savior and help in time of need, but sometimes, He shows up as a hurricane. May we embrace Him when He does.” – Jimmy Needham

How Great is My Savior's Love For Me

I am not perfect. In fact, I will gladly point out my errors: I am a complete mess. I am not someone that anyone should look to as an example of Christ but rather an example of the capacity of Christ's love. He took me broken up, disgusted, filled with suicidal thoughts, left for dead and He gave me life.....Even better, He laid down His life for mine. What kind of man would do that? No man actually but Jesus. God loved me soooo much that He looked past my present state and saw where I would be in Him and my future state. He didn't tell me "if you mess up again, that's it" but instead He kept using His blood to wipe away my transgressions, my faults, my disappointments, everything....at this moment as I type this I find myself more in awe of Him then before. Jesus Christ, God, the Holy Spirit.....The Three-In-One. My Father, my Brother, my Friend, my Lover of my soul, my Judge, my Provider, my Healer, my Peace. God sent His Son Jesus to die for someone who is so unworthy but God wanted to give me the chance to live.

"It will be said on that day,'Behold, this is our God; we have waited for Him, that He might save us.This is the LORD; we have waited for Him; let us be glad and rejoice in His salvation." Isaiah 25:9
