"Hurricane"

We're going to talk about the meaning behind some of the Christian songs that you can find on KLOVE or Air1. This week, we're talking about "Hurricane" by Samestate. The song will be posted below our discussion with the lyrics under the video.

What is love?

“Love is not affectionate feeling, but a steady wish for the loved person's ultimate good as far as it can be obtained.”
~C.S. Lewis

God loves each and every person and YOU regardless of what you've done, will do, and whether you love yourself or Him or not. He never has stopped loving you, and never will stop loving you from when you were born to when you will die. There may be times that you fall away, but His love is something that you can always come back to.

It is hard to understand because there is no other love like it, but it is a two-way street like a human love. God is always loving you, but you need to make the decision to love Him back.

A question was brought up: Why do we have to go to church if God loves us anyways? The answer is simple: We want to worship and give thanks to God for loving us.

 ⁷ Dear friends, let us love one another, for love comes from God. Everyone who loves has been born of God and knows God. ⁸ Whoever does not love does not know God, because God is love. ⁹ This is how God showed his love among us: He sent his one and only Son into the world that we might live through him. ¹⁰ This is love: not that we loved God, but that he loved us and sent his Son as an atoning sacrifice for our sins. ¹¹ Dear friends, since God so loved us, we also ought to love one another. ¹² No one has ever seen God; but if we love one another, God lives in us and his love is made complete in us.
 ¹³ This is how we know that we live in him and he in us: He has given us of his Spirit. ¹⁴ And we have seen and testify that the Father has sent his Son to be the Savior of the world. ¹⁵ If anyone acknowledges that Jesus is the Son of God, God lives in them and they in God. ¹⁶ And so we know and rely on the love God has for us.
   God is love. Whoever lives in love lives in God, and God in them. ¹⁷ This is how love is made complete among us so that we will have confidence on the day of judgment: In this world we are like Jesus. ¹⁸ There is no fear in love. But perfect love drives out fear, because fear has to do with punishment. The one who fears is not made perfect in love.
 ¹⁹ We love because he first loved us. ²⁰ Whoever claims to love God yet hates a brother or sister is a liar. For whoever does not love their brother and sister, whom they have seen, cannot love God, whom they have not seen.
~1John 4 (NIV)

As you go through the week, here is a question to consider:
When are some times that you feel God's love? Is it when you feel the sun shining down after a cloudy morning? A problem that you've been having is quickly and easily resolved? Every person feels God's love differently. Listen carefully to hear when God is saying "I love you."



"Hurricane" by Samestate The tide has turned around,
We’re washing away,
With thunder and rain,
You’ll be back again,
It’s getting hard to believe,
And even harder to see,
That You could love,
Those like me.

Cause what do we really do
To deserve love so true,

Now all at once heads are spinning faster like a hurricane,
Cause all we did was nothing
But the love still came,
And is bringing in Good News,
His love is comin' back for you,

What if I never cared,
But now I do,
With only hours left,
How is it I still choose,

Cause what did we really do
To deserve love so true,

Now all at once heads are spinning faster like a hurricane,
Cause all we did was nothing
But the love still came,
And it’s bringing in Good News,
His love is comin' back,
For all of us who have a hard time
Getting it through our brains,
That all we did was nothing
But the love still came,
And it’s bringing in Good News,
Love is comin' back for you,
Oh, for you, oh

'Cause what do we really do?
I don't get it
Oh, what do we really do?
I don't get it
Oh, what do we really do?
Sometimes we don't have to understand

All at once heads are spinning faster like a hurricane,
Cause all we did was nothing
But a love still came,
And it’s bringing in Good News,
Yeah, love is comin back,
For all of us who have a hard time
Getting it through our brains,
That all we did was nothing
But the love still came,
And it’s bringing in Good News,
Love is comin back like a hurricane,

Like a hurricane,
Like a hurricane,
Like a hurricane,
For you,
Oh the love is comin' back for you.
