It’s the clouds, silly . . .

 My roommates in college used to call me the “song slayer.”  I have the hardest time remembering lyrics and often would completely mix up a song beyond recognition, except for the melody.  I still do it today . . . which, incidentally, is why my music stand is always kept so close to me on Sunday mornings.  I’m sure that some of you have noticed that I still mess up the words from time to time.  That being said, the lyrics to the songs we sing each Sunday are very important to me.  I try very hard to choose songs that have substance to them, much like some of the great hymns of the faith.   For instance, Laura Story’s “Indescribable,” a song made popular by Chris Tomlin, is like a modern day version of “Great Is Thy Faithfulness” in which the wonder of creation points to God’s handiwork and majesty.  Did you ever stop to wonder what the line, “heavenly storehouses laden with snow” means?  It used to be a line, in that particular worship song, which I never fully understood.  When one of our team members posed that very question to the group recently, we were stumped.  That is until Becky, my more insightful wife, pointed out that the phrase is referring to the clouds.  It’s a good thing I married her.
