lyrics

The Night That I Saw God

What drew me out that night
I guess I’ll never know
The stillness in the air
Or the night as black as coal

Well, opaque would be the word
‘cause it blotted out the stars
Suddenly the wind was wild
The tree’s were leaning hard

The Night That I Saw God
The night I saw the Devil
Rolling in the yard
Raining a tornado
The Night That I Saw God
The night I saw the Devil
Rolling in the yard
Raining a tornado

Well, I ran back in my house
And I barely caught the door
And I jumped under the couch
And started praying on the floor
Then the picture window shattered
In a burst of driving rain
And I heard a sound so deafening
I thought it was a train…

The Night That I Saw God…

Well, I guess I prayed to Jesus
And I pleaded for my life
And I guess my prayers were answered
Because everything went quiet
And I guess that’s when I realized
My whole life was gone
And I guess I started crying
The night
The Night That I Saw God

When I finally walked outside
The damage to survey
My house was leaning over
And the roof had blown away
And like a giant dragged a bowie knife
Clear across the ground
That twister sliced an evil path
And it tore apart my town
And they never found that trucker
Tore right out of his cab
And that farmer and his cattle
Well, they’re never coming back
I know the good Lord giveth
But he takes back at his pleasure
And I’ve learned to fear the Devil
And my God in equal measure…

The Night That I Saw God
