God's Great Orchestra
Rain pours down
On the roof tonight
Not a sound
But that of the bullets in flight
Each one a resounding bell
Beating out a steady melody
That none can tell
But those who truly believe
Lightning flashes
Quick as a blink
Their echoing crashes
Streaking midnight blue with white ink
Thunder rumbles
Deep bass drum of the wind
Each bell stumbles
In the strength from within
They find their paths
And continue falling
Faster now, back to back
They hear the wind calling
The bells of rain pick up speed
Each breath of wind weaves in
Rising and falling like the sea
Every note piercing like a pin
Lighting crashes
Burning, blazing through the air
Thunder dashes
Out from its hidden lair
Most ponder what this was
But not us, you and me
No, we know it’s God’s Great Orchestra,
A beautiful symphony
