Reading Ginny's poem and post about storms, fires, loss, and rebuilding reminded me of a song. I commend it to you here—this could be an anthem for Biblical Families. Keep dancing!
The Storm
Flying Colors
There was a time when my life was easy
Stretched out in the sun
Everything was clover
The world was off my shoulders for awhile
But then the sky turned a bomb fire shade
And hit me like a gun
It passed with flying colors
There's no flying over
The storm
We will dance as it breaks
The storm
It will give as it takes
And all of our pain is washed away
Don't cry or be afraid
Some things only can be made
In the storm
Sometimes we get swept away
We're forced to take the change
The desert gives you comfort
But you can't stay here all your wounded life
Underneath is a tempest rage
Your secrets come undone
When mountains need movin'
Let me help you through it
The storm
We will dance as it breaks
The storm
Comes as fast as it fades
And all of our pain is washed away
Don't cry or be afraid
Some things only can be made
In the storm
All your secrets come undone
Every web we've ever spun
All our secrets come undone
Let'em go, let 'em come
The storm
We will dance as it breaks
The storm
Gives you more than it takes
And all of our pain is washed away
Stare chaos in the face
We need only to embrace
Don't cry or be afraid
Some things only can be made
In the storm
