A Period in Time
The Son was shining through the reign
But still the rain kept falling.
For forty days and forty nights
I never stopped my balling.
I heard the cries of men as they
Were drowning in their sins.
And when I smelled their fear was when
Your wrath came rolling in.
You rumbled and you thundered and
Your lightning strikes came fast.
The judgment of our Lord and God
Upon the earth at last!
But yet you saved a remnant
And I know you will again.
Your love will never change, O Lord,
Your grace is for the chosen.
A period for all men while,
You wait for them to turn.
But then the final judgment,
When the unrepentant burn!
