A recent video release by artist, Andrew McKain and produced by The Jerusalem Connection. A storm is coming. As the storm has already begun across Eastern Europe, there will be many Survivors who will stay behind because they are not able to travel and are too aged to make such a move. The Lev Project wants to be there for those who wish to make the journey and those who cannot. They need our help. Please consider how you can join with us to make a difference!

There’s a Storm Coming
Andrew McKain
11/21/14
Verse 1
Eyes opened, summer, twenty-fourteen
The sound of thunder woke me up from my sleep
Throngs of angry people storming European streets
Waving signs, shouting things that you wouldn’t believe
“Death to Jews” in France – no chance, you heard me?
Even worse, it was “Gas the Jews” in Germany [1]
I don’t know about you, but it’s starting to worry me
Barely made the news, “It’s cool,” they assure me
“Just Muslim immigrants watching Gaza and worrying
Israel’s killing innocents is really unnerving ‘em
And maybe they in ignorance yell something disturbing
A little overzealous, that accounts for their wording.”
At least that’s what they tell us, so we ignore what’s emerging
And unfortunately it’s working,
We got no idea about the evil that’s lurking
There’s a storm coming ….
If all this hate’s about the State of Israel
Now what’s that gotta do with pulling food from the shelves
Of a grocer in London who was too afraid to sell
Something “Kosher” lest he be attacked as well [2]
Or that Jewish-owned pharmacy burned down in Sarcelles
Where Muslims bombed a synagogue with Molotov Cocktails [3]
The day in 1942 Nazis murdered Jews there [4]
Am I getting through to you, am I making it clear?
It’s anti-Semitism, not anti-Israel! [5]
So used to living with it, think it’s no big deal
All this violence and hate, it ain’t going nowhere
We can’t wish it away with some spin or a spell
Get your head out of the sand, Europe, this is for real
Can’t un-see what I’ve seen, don’t un-hear what I tell
Jew hatred runs deep, it’s a bottomless well
Now that hatred is back, like cancerous cells
Jews are under attack, somebody ring the bell
It’s high tide, water rising, better brace for the swell
There’s a storm coming ….
Chorus
Listen!
Hear that thunder in the distance?
Getting closer every minute
Did you ever wonder what you’re missing?
When you’re too busy to pay attention
Can’t you sense it?
Storm’s coming any minute
No sense in waiting till we’re in it
2 x 2 we’re gonna send ‘em
Before the rains start spilling
Now you know we got a mission …. Are you with me?
Verse 2
I ain’t being alarmist, I ain’t trying to shock
This summer wasn’t anything like Kristallnacht [6]
It was day you see what’s coming or you choose to not
Like when Theodore Herzl witnessed Alfred Dreyfus in the dock [7]
A Decorated French Jew accused of treason
J’accuse! – convicted, for no reason
Paris streets, they were teeming with people shouting and screaming
No doubt about it increasing and Dreyfus couldn’t appease ‘em
Cause they’d imagined a grievance, lent credence to the belief that
Maybe the Jews were the reason for all the problem they’re seeing
Herzl watched the proceedings . . .then it hit him, the need of
His fellow Jews for a state – only place they’d be free from
The tidal wave of hate about to flood the whole region
He made his case for escape; he tried to reach ‘em
But it was too late before the world believed him
He saw the storm coming ….
That was back in 1894,
40 years before the Shoah hit Europe’s shore
What if they listened when he tried to warn
About the storm clouds he saw beginning to form?
What if they listened to Noah when he was building the ark?
Not a cloud in the sky, man, no cause for alarm
But he had the foresight, to see the flood from afar [8]
Not to see as he’d like, but see things as they are
Seeing it’s easy, but believing it’s hard
Cause then we choose to ignore it or to do our part
Do we lay on the beach and watch the sky grow dark
Or do we stand in the breach and get the people ashore
We got no excuse, don’t gotta look that far
To see the storm clouds gather and the sky grow dark [9]
Hear the thunder rattle, see the lightening spark
There’s a storm coming whether we’re ready or not?
