The Storm

THE NIGHT SKY IS CLEAR
AND THE STARS ARE SHINING
PEACEFUL AND STILL
AND THE WIND IS GONE
BUT OFF IN THE DISTANCE
THERE’S A CHURCH BELL RINGING
NEWS TRAVELS FAST
WHEN SOMETHING IS WRONG

CHORUS:
NO ONE KNOWS WHY, BUT THE CLOUDS CAME ROLLING
AIN’T NO REASON, AIN’T NO RHYME
GATHERED IN PRAYER IS THE CONGREGATION
FOR A FAMILY FROM THIS LIFE WAS TORN
TAKEN AWAY BY THE STORM

JOHN TILLED THE LAND
LIKE HIS FATHER BEFORE HIM
ACRES OF DREAMS
FOR HIS CHILDREN AND WIFE
A HOUSE BUILT WITH LOVE
HE THOUGHT IT WOULD SHELTER
BUT NO EARTHLY FORTRESS
COULD SAVE THEIR POOR LIVES

CHORUS

INSTRUMENTAL ½ CHORUS

GATHERED IN PRAYER IS THE CONGREGATION
FOR A FAMILY FROM THIS LIFE WAS TORN
TAKEN AWAY BY THE STORM
A FAMILY FROM THIS LIFE WAS TORN
TAKEN AWAY BY THE STORM
