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
