hurricane

I recently heard the song "Hurricane" by Jimmy Needham...and the lyrics just really resonated with me:

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

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 that 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

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 Your casualty

'til I'm Yours alone

I am only Yours

I am Yours alone, Lord

come be my hurricane

It's a hard idea to grasp...that destruction may be needed....definitely a concept that I wrestle with...
