Just sort of had a vision like the twister movie and put some music to it. I can see a Alfred E. Newman character riding down the road in a '57 Chevy convertible, looking up into his rear view mirror. Behind him is the storm, ahead of him is a beautiful sky full of Jesus.

In my car heading down the road,
The sky gets dark and the COWS begin to blow! A storm is coming,this much I know,
I can hear it on my radio.

In my rear view,cars are spinning 'round.
In my rear view,the tree's are falling down.
In my rear view,its tearing up the town,
But looking out my windshield I see You,
Lord what a view!

Storm clouds, they gather 'round,
The thunder rolls, now I can hear its sound,
There's a strong wind,its been following me,
Now I'm on the run to get free!

In my rear view,cars are spinning 'round.
In my rear view,the tree's are falling down.
In my rear view,its tearing up the town,
But looking out my windshield I see You,
Lord what a view!

Takes just a glance
from the windshield to the mirror,
Takes just a thought, for trust to turn to fear.
Won't look behind me, and I'll make it hrough,
I'll keep my eyes on You.


In my rear view,cars are spinning 'round.
In my rear view,the tree's are falling down.
In my rear view,its tearing up the town,
But looking out my windshield I see You,
Lord what a view!
