Windows light up Rattling sashes Rain don't stop It tears & lashes Thunder sears and Lightning crashes Houses up in Smoke & ashes...
[Chorus] Roll on by, storm, Roll on by! You won't make me Weep & sigh! You will pass me By & by I'll wake up To God's blue sky...
No power of hell Nor will of Man No twist or turn Or slight of hand No storm or rain Or lightning slam. I'll overcome. I'll understand.
The rain won't stop Won't let me be But it can't melt The heart of me! If you knew You would agree I'm an eagle Don't you see! I'll rise above I will not flee I have got the victory!
[Chorus]
I will watch & I will wait Soon the tempest Will abate Whether it be Soon or late I'll stand in LOVE! I will not hate! I will enter Heaven's gate To be with Jesus Is my fate...
