6:53. This is a song I wrote about the Linwood tornado and how it impacted my family.
6:53
Milk cows in the barn, chores left to do
Tornado sirens blaring, F5 passing through
We race for the house, it's not very far
Yell for the dogs, hiding under the car.
Down to the basement, huddling together
under a mattress, holding onto each other.
Cry out to Jesus, Oh Jesus, hear me.
A miracle happened at 6:53.
The milk barn is gone, show cows are dead
two silos are missing, swing set and a shed
a path of destruction, plowed through our land
God kept us safe in his loving hands.
I saw the time on our kitchen clock
It read 6:53 when that clock stopped
Thank you Jesus for hearing me
my life was saved at 6:53.
My life didn't stop like that clock did that day
I'm so glad my life's still ticking away.
Thank you Jesus for hearing me
My life changed at 6:53.
