Lyrics
Eventhough ur winds blow I want you to know
You cause me no alarm coz im safe in his arms
Evnthough ur rain falls i can still make this call
Let there be peace now i can take gooooooold away

I Told The Storm - Greg O'Quin 'N Joyful Noize
Meaning & Inspiration
Kirk Franklin's "I Told The Storm," as interpreted by Greg O'Quin 'N Joyful Noize and released in 2008, stands as a powerful declaration of faith rooted in the unwavering belief that God's presence conquers any trial. This song isn't merely a beautiful melody; it's a profound testimony to the believer's authority over adversity through reliance on the Almighty. The core message resonates with the biblical truth that no matter the magnitude of the challenges we face – be they metaphorical storms of doubt, fear, financial hardship, or personal loss – we are empowered through Christ to confront them with unwavering resolve. This echoes the sentiment found in Philippians 4:13, "I can do all things through Christ who strengthens me," a verse that underpins the song's courageous stance. The narrative presented is one of proactive spiritual engagement, where the individual, armed with the knowledge of God's promises, directly addresses the overwhelming forces that threaten to consume them. It’s a mirror of Jesus calming the storm in Mark 4:39, where His disciples, though fearful, witnessed His dominion over the tempest. This act of faith, of speaking truth into the heart of chaos, reflects the inherent power bestowed upon believers as representatives of God's kingdom on earth. The song’s strength lies in its call to internalize God's word and use it as a shield and sword against spiritual opposition, a concept strongly supported by Ephesians 6:10-17, which details the "full armor of God" as essential equipment for spiritual warfare. The message encourages a posture of spiritual leadership in one's own life, understanding that through faith, we are not passive recipients of circumstances but active participants in overcoming them, drawing strength from the very One who created the heavens and the earth, as Psalm 121:1-2 reminds us, "My help comes from the Lord, who made heaven and earth." Ultimately, "I Told The Storm" serves as a vibrant anthem for anyone navigating turbulent times, reminding them of their inherent spiritual power and the ever-present, victorious nature of God's love.
