The Reckoning |
| I can see the storm descending on the hill tonight |
| Tall trees are bending to your will tonight |
| Let the mighty bow down |
| At the thundering sound of your voice |
| I can hear the howling wind and feel the rain tonight |
| Every drop a prophet in your name tonight |
| And the words that they sing |
| They are washing me clean, but |
| How long until this curtain is lifted? |
| How long is this the song that we sing? |
| How long until the reckoning? |
| And I know you hear the cries of every soul tonight |
| You see the teardrops as they roll tonight |
| Down the faces of saints |
| Who grow weary and faint in your fields |
| And the wicked roam the cities and the streets tonight |
| But when the God of love and thunder speaks tonight |
| Down the faces of saints |
| Who grow weary and faint in your fields |
| And the wicked roam the cities and the streets tonight |
| But when the God of love and thunder speaks tonight |
| I believe You will come |
| Your justice be done, but how long? |
| You are holiness and grace |
| You are fury and rest |
| You are anger and love |
| You curse and you bless |
| You are mighty and weak |
| You are silence and song |
| You are plain as the day |
| But you have hidden your face-- |
| For how long? |
| How long? |
| And I am standing in the stillness of the reckoning |
| The storm is past and rest is beckoning |
| Mighty God, how I fear you |
| How I long to be near you, O Lord |
| How long until the burden is lifted? |
| How long is this the song that we sing? |
| How long until the reckoning? |
| And I know that I don’t know what I’m asking |
| But I long to look you full in the face |
| I am ready for the reckoning |
