Fanny Crosby wrote this song over 100 years ago. In the meantime it has become an important component of the Christian church. It has provided a way to express the deepest emotions. "Draw me nearer, nearer blessed Lord, to the Cross where thou hast died."

These words have been played slowly with a pipe organ, but this rendition is in the style of the great 1950-1960s Black Gospel sound. But, no matter what style the song is sung, it still calls us to a closer walk with the Master. Come listen to the Gales as they take us to church.

It gets hard some times, but I am holding on. Even if the things I suffer bring tears to my eyes. Even if Satan is working against me. Even if other folks are working against me. I will not let go. I will trust, believe, hope, and yes hold on and won't let go of my faith.

Let us look towards the future with the determination that our hope and trust in God can give us.

Notice the intensity, the strength and the surety. There is no question that the "Storm will pass over." As a preacher, I want the people to know that I believe what I am preaching. I also want the intensity that these sistas bring as they preach the gospel in their rendition of this great song from the Black church.

The Storm is Passing over...Hallelujah
