The Great Storm is Over.

After we heard the great news Saturday morning, my friend Paul posted a video of Bob Franke’s beautiful song by this name. It made me cry. And I can’t get it out of my head now. I’ll post some of the lyrics below.

My personal celebration today was to spend some time at the coast. The wind was blowing almost too hard to walk in it, as if blowing a storm away. 

Sweetness in the air and justice on the wind

Laughter in the house where the mourners have been

The deaf shall have music, the blind have new eyes

The standards of death taken down by surprise.

Alleluia, the great storm is over,

Lift up your wings and fly!

Alleluia, the great storm is over,

Lift up your wings and fly! (Bob Franke)
