This Storm (anthem 2020) is actually a very old song. It is, I believe, the last original song of mine that my mother heard me perform. At the time is was originally written, my life was in chaos. I was still living at home and we were being hit from every direction with financial and other heartaches. NOTHING was going well. It felt like there was this beast of despair with feet the size of an elephant's standing on my chest. I couldn't find a job. We were already living in the hood and it just seemed that even the air in that part of town was just thicker, more difficult to breathe. I remember even the members of my church would look at me as if I were some defective stain on the congregation. The only thing that gave me any kind of existence was that I could sing. That was it. God's anointing was heavy on me and they could see that in my vocal offerings. They just thought that I was somehow broken.
I wasn't going to let all that kill me. I felt that even though I was broken in a LOT of places, I was still more than they could see. God would get me through this and then they all would see. I would get though this storm in my life. I would overcome this. I was trying to stand, but kept getting knocked down. What I didn't realize at the time was the fire that was keeping me afloat... the fire that was driving me was the power of God. He kept his hand on me... kept me going. With the video, I pointed the song toward the COVID 19 crisis, but the song actually isn't about that. It's about choosing to believe that God won't allow whatever is attacking you to destroy you. Not only will you outlast an attack. You will overcome that attack. Even if you don't see a way through this at all, God has all ready made a way. That was cemented through the blood of Jesus. So don't be afraid. You will overcome. God has all ready done all that needs to be done. You just hang on.
Stay Prayed Up!
