Stormclouds

Turned on my radio, to listen for awhile

But the junk they play gets worse every day

Flipped on the tv, hoping for a smile

Until I felt my brain begin to decay

Unborn children murdered by the millions

Sacrificed so mom can run free

Shattered victims scattered through the wreckage

Picking through what once used to be

As the stormclouds roll from the crest of Mount Zion

Who will turn away and be saved?

Captured spirits, bloodied on the inside

Languishing in chains they can't see

Hopeless captives, clawing at their bindings

Running from the one with the key

Foolish dreamers, trusting in tomorrow

Counting on what never can be

A lying promise dangles in their faces

"Take the mark and walk away free"

Holy Saviour, murdered by the masses

Sacrificed so man could go free

Patient Father, waiting for the harvest

Reaching out for you and for me

And when the good news shimmers in the spotlight

Freedom finds a home on the stage

So come and join us; your life won't last forever

Its over with the turn of a page

As the stormclouds roll from the quest of Mount Zion

Will you turn away and be saved?
