Ferocious heart in rhythm strong
Dont be late, oh, dont be long
Tarry here for just one day
Find your reason to delay

Im left with raining, weeping skies
Im left here swimming, pool of lies
Truth not cloaked in winters freeze
Come put my aching soul at ease

I wish to soar above the clouds
Lingering in hope allowed
Your crashing symbol, thunder roars
Forever grounding solid doors

Im granted access once for all
Im left in Thunder, Spirits call
I pray the truth is bigger still
I pray for strength to do Your will
I pray that Love will light my way
O tarry here for just one day
