LYRICS    
God has promised you SHALL endure this terrible storm.
Promised once you've declared Jesus is your Savior LORD.
Once you've humbly prayed and meant it – Romans 10 Verse 9's prayer,
Once you've said you'll obey Jesus and with faith, 
you've declared God's
Word is Truth, Then you are
UNDER THE UMBRELLA OF GOD'S CARE. 
Covered by wings of
God's protecting care,
like a Mother Hen, as Jesus described at the end of Matthew 23.
Jesus yearns to cover you with His wings. 
Will you LET  Him?
The ONLY way for UMBRELLA PROTECTION is choosing to STAY beside Him.

CHORUS
LOGIC shows, the storm gets you when there is one umbrella,
and you CHOOSE  to walk away – to go your own way.  The
umbrella holder will NOT protect you if you refuse to walk HIS way.
God wants you beside Him, safe, but He LETS you STRAY......

VERSE 2
God has promised you'll see Heaven IF Jesus is YOUR LORD.
Jesus through John 15 warns you're NOT friends if you don't obey Him.
Though you've humbly prayed and meant it, God may not give protection.
If you've said you'll obey Jesus, but returned to sinful ways and
still refuse to sorrow
AND REPENT, still rejecting God's Word, then you're NOT covered by
God's protecting care,
like a Mother Hen, as Jesus described HIMSELF, Luke 13 at the end.
Jesus yearns to protect you – LOVE like a Hen. Will you LET Him?
The ONLY way for UMBRELLA PROTECTION 
is choosing to STAY beside Him.        >> CHORUS

 
VERSE 3                   *EL - God's people's name has HIS name within.
God Who dearly loves IsraEL* stopped protecting them when
they REFUSED to OBEY Him – – to follow Him as LORD.
Not 'til IsraEL* prayed and meant it did God RETURN protection.
Do you think God gives protection if you choose to mock His Cross by
not choosing to sorrow for all your sins, though you hurt God?
YET, by God's GRACE, often He still
gives protecting care,
like a Mother Hen, see Matthew 23's end, and Luke 13: God's love.
God calls, “Let Me protect you 
under My wings.” Will you LET Him?
The ONLY way for UMBRELLA PROTECTION is choosing to STAY beside Him. 
>> CHORUS


READING AT END OF SONG: In Matthew 23: 37 to the end AND the end of Luke 13, you can hear Jesus practically weeping on his last night on earth as he looks over the city: “O Jerusalem, Jerusalem, the one who kills the prophets & stones those who are sent to her! How often I wanted to gather your children together, as a hen gathers her chicks under her wings, but you were not willing! See! Your house is left to you desolate; for I say to you, you shall see Me no more till you say,
‘Blessed is He who comes in the name of the LORD!’ ”
-----------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------
 
God's SUPPORTING WORDS:   
JESUS INVITES us to come under His COVER protection. See
Matthew 23's end... COMFORT & almost weeping LOVE Jesus shows for EVERY person as He sat above Jerusalem in His last hours and cried out of how He LONGED to draw all people under His wing "as a mother hen protecting her chicks."
Jesus was SAYING He was God there:
"He shall cover you with His feathers, 
And under His wings you shall take refuge..." - Psalm 91:4a

LYRICS Story:     
Song lyrics written at the computer took anl hour. I was telling God, “Pretty cool!” as I finished matching rhymes and patterns for this song about my favorite parable...
God's love like a mother Hen, where “wings” is also a reference to the tassles at the bottom of Hebrew clothing articles in Jesus's day. There's safety walking close enough to be at the fringe of His robe...!
