Hurricane

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 don't know if you know who Jimmy Needham is. If you don't, I advise you do conduct a little investigation and find out. He has an amazing song called Hurricane and the lyrics are prayers from my own heart.

The song is basically inviting the Lord to tear down every wall that has been built around one's heart; to penetrate the very core. This is an invitation to God saying I know I've distanced myself from you. Be it through fear, a need for comfort and protection, rebellion. But whatever the reason, burn down these walls I've foolishly built up around my heart that have kept you out. Make me uncomfortable. Shake everything around me. "I'm only yours now."
