I will praise the Lord with all my heart
Blessed be His holy name
For all this time that we are still apart
To the nations I’ll proclaim
Hallelu-Y’shuah
Hallelu-Y’shuah
Hallelu-Y’shuah
Hallelu-Y’shuah
How could I make you see tears that were never shed?
But, Mother, he came to me while I lay on my bed
Peacefully sleeping
Then he came weeping
Begging for me to warn you
“Don’t let her come where this torment is near
I love her too much to let her come here”
What if it’s just a dream bouncing around my brain?
No need to cause a scene or make fundamental change
In your behavior
Or long for a savior
I’m sure that it’s just a story
Meant to delude all the masses to flee
Herded like lemmings, they leap to the sea
But if it’s really true, why could you take the chance?
Confess what you need to do, join in this joyful dance
Playfully singing
Church bells a-ringing
Smiles all around the throne room
“Well done, My servant, come meet your friends
Here where the wonder never will end”
"Lord, Lord, ain't it gettin' hot down here?
Ain't seen rain now for what seems a year
What I'd give now for a single drink
Don't it make you wanna stop and think?"
Stop and think
From the dust
He pounds the dust
Unto the dust he goes
He breathes the air
Assails the air
Unto the air he sows
Sowing uncounted millennia of solar beams to the air
Reaping the real whirlwind
Reaping the real whirlwind
Reaping the real whirlwind
"Ain't no problem far as we can tell
Man can't turn earth to a living hell
Let's go party while we're still alive
Rev that engine into overdrive"
Overdrive
Filled with pride
Puffed up with pride
In his pride denies
Conceived in sin
He lives in sin
In his sin he dies
Sowing uncounted millennia of solar beams to the air
Reaping the real whirlwind
Reaping the real whirlwind
Reaping the real whirlwind
"Lord, Lord, ain't it gettin' hot down here?"
Well Lordy Lord, You know I've been lonely
You know that I've been lonely for sure
But You know I won't be lonely
I won't be lonely no more
Well Lord, I gave her all of Your money
But all she done was do me so bad
But You know You do me better
The best I ever had
Well Lordy Lord, You know I've been lonely
And that is why I'm singing this song
But You know I won't be lonely
I won't be lonely for long
Well Lord, You know I begged her to stay here
But all she done was leave me so cold
But she'll be begging me to come back
When I'm bagging the gold
Well Lordy Lord, You know I've been lonely
No wonder that I'm feeling so down
But You know the tide is turning
The tide is turning around
Well Lord, You know the battle I'm fighting
You know the one who wants me to lose
But You know he's been defeated
The victory's mine if I choose
Well Lordy Lord, You know I've been lonely
You know that I've been lonely for sure
But You know I won't be lonely
I won't be lonely no more
I know I won't be lonely
I won't be lonely no more
It is true, I am certain
That not one sparrow falls
Apart from Him, behind the curtain
Who decrees all in all
And He knows when you're hurtin'
Of its cause He is clear
So come bring every burden
To the One ever near
He is near, ever near
Jesus is ever near
In a world of sin unbounded
With cruel death at every turn
Hope might seem to be unfounded
Just a dream falsely learned
Though fierce winds may swirl around you
And your heart is clenched with fear
Don't despair for He has found you
He is now and ever near
He is near, ever near
Jesus is ever near
He is ever near
He is ever near
He is ever near
Adam had a little till the serpent stalked him
Abel ate a little when his brother clocked him
Enoch peaked a little as he went a walkin'
Up into the heavens when the Lord swept down to take him
Noah felt a little when the rain stopped fallin'
Abram got a syllable when he heard his callin'
Jacob scraped a little when he came a crawlin'
Back up to his brother at the camp of Mahanaim
That's when they saw the glory of the Lord
That's when they saw the glory of the Lord
That's when they saw the glory of the Lord
That's when they saw the glory of the Lord
That's when they saw the glory of the Lord
That's when they saw the glory of the Lord
That's when they saw the glory of the Lord
That's when they saw the glory
Joseph saw a little in his youthful vision
Moses glimpsed a little from his cleft position
Caleb spied a little on his secret mission
Up into the hills as he checked out the situation
Rahab hid a little while the spies were hidin'
Achin ached a little in the flames he fried in
Joshua split a little as he went dividin'
All the land of Canaan to the tribes that he was bringin'
That's when they saw the glory of the Lord
That's when they saw the glory of the Lord
That's when they saw the glory of the Lord
That's when they saw the glory of the Lord
That's when they saw the glory of the Lord
That's when they saw the glory of the Lord
That's when they saw the glory of the Lord
That's when they saw the glory
Sampson lost a little to the harlot's haircut
David stung Goliath with a stoney carom
Daniel nipped a little in the lions' lair, but
Jesus shut the mouth of every feline in that dungeon
Mary sang a little when the angel blessed her
Jesus healed a little of the wounds that festered
Peter cursed a little to a girl 'cause yester-
Day she said she saw him but he claimed he ever knew Him
That's when they saw the glory of the Lord
That's when they saw the glory of the Lord
That's when they saw the glory of the Lord
That's when they saw the glory of the Lord
That's when they saw the glory of the Lord
That's when they saw the glory of the Lord
That's when they saw the glory of the Lord
That's when they saw the glory
John, he saw a little on the Isle of Patmos
Martin cut a bundle of the cords that trapped us
Jesus gets a little nearer when we're wrapped up
Wholly in the glory of His loving arms around us
These were years of major change, brought on by the end of my second marriage and a new focus in my scientific career, when Monsanto invited its Science Fellows to study the theory of man-made global warming and report back to the company with answers to three questions: Is the theory true? Will climate change impact agriculture? Will this impact Monsanto? I took a deep dive into the science and subsequently discovered parallels between the expected changes to our planet and prophetic passages of the Bible. This inspired Reaping the Real Whirlwind, a small book released by a Christian publisher, as well as the song Real Whirlwind.
The song Mother had its origins in a terrifying dream that was as real as any I have ever experienced. My Dad came to me about 5 years after his death, tearfully begging me not to let my Mom go where he is now. This certainly intensified my daily prayers for her, and my desire to express Godly love for her at every opportunity. She ultimately passed on MLK Day, 2022. Although I never had verbal confirmation from her that she accepted the Lord's offer of salvation, she gave me the brightest, most intense smile that I had ever seen on her face during her last full day on earth. I've taken that as evidence that she indeed ultimately said "yes" to Jesus. This is a wonderful comfort.
