The Name

i watched the rain streak down our window

we never dreamed it'd get this bad

like a fool I assumed our troubles would just dissipate

why do we wait to change until it's too late

we're a cauldron on the fire

ready to erupt

with the blood moon sinking over us

but it aint over until it's over

you can cut the darkness with a flame

a single word can bring you closer

break the silence with a whisper

there comes a swift and gentle aid

when you call upon the name

Jesus

Jesus

i feel the pull in all directions

i hear the bullets ricochet

i look around and see the whole world breaking

where do you go to hide, when nowhere feels safe

i'm a vessel on the waves

sinking with the weight

how the deep prevails to swallow me up

but it aint over until it's over

you can cut the darkness with a flame

a single word can bring you closer

break the silence with a whisper

there comes a swift and gentle aid

when you call upon the name

Jesus

Jesus
