When The Wind Blows
Point Of Grace Lyrics


Jump to: Overall Meaning ↴  Line by Line Meaning ↴

Night turns to daylight
And things are quite the same
You wake up and make up
Another day's routine
Then the sun begins to shine as if
The face of god were near
And a trumpet sound is played as if
All the world could hear

[Chorus:]
That's the day when the wind blows
That's the day when the earth begins to move
When the lion and the lamb start walking
Two by two
That's the day when the wind blows
When the sky is torn in two
And the lord of lords in all his glory
Comes for you
Oh, when the wind blows

Beside you, behind you
Believers on their knees
And somehow you know now
Everyone you see
So hand-in-hand you fly away
To meet him in the sky
This man that you have dreamed about
He's right before your eyes

[Chorus: Repeat 2X]

That's the day when the earth begins to move
When the lion and the lamb start walking
Two by two
When the wind blows
When the sky is torn in two
And the lord of lords in all his glory
Comes for you oh, when the wind blows




Well be swept away, swept away
When the wind blows

Overall Meaning

The lyrics to Point Of Grace's song "When The Wind Blows" portray the coming of the end times as prophesied in the Bible. The first verse talks about how life goes on as usual until the world is suddenly changed by the sound of a trumpet heralding the return of Jesus Christ. The chorus speaks of the day when the wind blows, which is a metaphor for the Holy Spirit moving through the world, preparing believers for the second coming of Christ. The second verse speaks of believers joining together to meet him in the sky, where they will be taken away to heaven to be with the Lord.


The lyrics of "When The Wind Blows" use powerful imagery to convey the message of the song. The trumpet sound is associated with the Last Judgment, as it is said in the Bible that there will be a great trumpet blast signaling the return of Christ. The lion and the lamb walking together echo the words of the prophet Isaiah, who said that in the messianic kingdom "the wolf will live with the lamb, the leopard will lie down with the goat, the calf and the lion and the yearling together" (Isaiah 11:6). The sky being torn in two is another eschatological image, symbolizing the end of the world as we know it.


Some of the theological themes that are present in "When The Wind Blows" include the sovereignty of God, the importance of faith, and the promise of eternal life. The song stresses the need for believers to be ready for Christ's return, as it could happen at any moment. It also emphasizes the power of the Holy Spirit in accomplishing God's purposes in the world. Ultimately, the song offers hope to those who believe in Christ, promising that they will be swept away to heaven when the wind blows.

Revelation 22:11

11 He that is unjust, let him be unjust still: and he which is filthy, let him be filthy still: and he that is righteous, let him be righteous still: and he that is holy, let him be holy still.

=========================================================

Revelation 22

22 And he shewed me a pure river of water of life, clear as crystal, proceeding out of the throne of God and of the Lamb.

2 In the midst of the street of it, and on either side of the river, was there the tree of life, which bare twelve manner of fruits, and yielded her fruit every month: and the leaves of the tree were for the healing of the nations.

3 And there shall be no more curse: but the throne of God and of the Lamb shall be in it; and his servants shall serve him:

4 And they shall see his face; and his name shall be in their foreheads.

5 And there shall be no night there; and they need no candle, neither light of the sun; for the Lord God giveth them light: and they shall reign for ever and ever.

6 And he said unto me, These sayings are faithful and true: and the Lord God of the holy prophets sent his angel to shew unto his servants the things which must shortly be done.

7 Behold, I come quickly: blessed is he that keepeth the sayings of the prophecy of this book.

8 And I John saw these things, and heard them. And when I had heard and seen, I fell down to worship before the feet of the angel which shewed me these things.

9 Then saith he unto me, See thou do it not: for I am thy fellowservant, and of thy brethren the prophets, and of them which keep the sayings of this book: worship God.

10 And he saith unto me, Seal not the sayings of the prophecy of this book: for the time is at hand.

11 He that is unjust, let him be unjust still: and he which is filthy, let him be filthy still: and he that is righteous, let him be righteous still: and he that is holy, let him be holy still.

12 And, behold, I come quickly; and my reward is with me, to give every man according as his work shall be.

13 I am Alpha and Omega, the beginning and the end, the first and the last.

14 Blessed are they that do his commandments, that they may have right to the tree of life, and may enter in through the gates into the city.

15 For without are dogs, and sorcerers, and whoremongers, and murderers, and idolaters, and whosoever loveth and maketh a lie.

16 I Jesus have sent mine angel to testify unto you these things in the churches. I am the root and the offspring of David, and the bright and morning star.

17 And the Spirit and the bride say, Come. And let him that heareth say, Come. And let him that is athirst come. And whosoever will, let him take the water of life freely.

18 For I testify unto every man that heareth the words of the prophecy of this book, If any man shall add unto these things, God shall add unto him the plagues that are written in this book:

19 And if any man shall take away from the words of the book of this prophecy, God shall take away his part out of the book of life, and out of the holy city, and from the things which are written in this book.

20 He which testifieth these things saith, Surely I come quickly. Amen. Even so, come, Lord Jesus.

21 The grace of our Lord Jesus Christ be with you all. Amen.
