Verses 3-4 may speak to those with a connection to waters and seas, but I have spent my entire life landlocked.
So, this is one way this prairie native sees the power of the Lord revealed in nature.
(Revised from a 1994 draft)
The wind on the prairies has lifted up,
O Lord,
the wind has lifted up its voice;
the wind has raised its voice with
incessant force and
terrible gusts.
Mightier than the thunder
in the awesome light shows
of the electrical storms,
mightier than the towering anvils
of the thunderstorms and
the whipping winds
of the terrifying tornado -
the Lord on high is mighty!
