Story behind the song
August posted a piece of this song in a comment on Christian Songwriter's Organization and I loved it and had a tune. I asked him if it was undeveloped , and if so, could I developed the theme. He emailed me back saying he had recorded it in 2005 with the URL to his soundclick page. His version sounded nothing like what I had in my head and the tune in my head wouldn't leave me alone; so I recorded what I was "hearing" . I sent him the result ,hoping he wouldn't be offended;and he said , not only was he not offended but that he liked it and suggested I upload it to my page so the other member of CSO could hear it. That is what I have done. I hope you like it too.
Lyrics
When the cold winds blow
and brings the blizzard's snow,
When land and sky take on a grayish hue,
"Amen", I speak
amidst the ice and sleet,
"Amen, amen" I say to You,
When the whole earth quakes
and great land masses shake,
When fire from the earth begins to spew,
"Amen", I cry
as tragedy resides,
"Amen, amen" I say to You,
"Amen, amen",
I raise this word to You,
"Amen, amen"
my heart knows that it's true
that the Hand that blocks the sun
and fans the crashing waves,
Will separate the clouds
and raise a better day,
As the years still roll
and strive to take their toll
on this poor frame of mine that time consumes,
"Amen", I'll say
until my final day,
"Amen, amen", I say to You,
"Amen, amen",
I raise this word on high,
"Amen, amen",
My soul cannot deny
that the Eye that sees all strife
yet, seems to turn away,
Is focused on the joy
that makes that better day,
And that day will be
through all eternity
A day for those, who are now born again,
Through Christ, we'll see
God's will so perfectly
and know the wisdom in "amen",
