Still Here

[Verse 1] Wringing hands, sweating brow So much to do, can’t stop now Sell the house, sell the car Quit the job, count every star Wash my feet, burn my past Hope this holy feeling lasts Fold the linens, clear the slate They said the trumpet won’t be late ⸻ [Pre-Chorus] 1844 came and went Surely He won’t forget I’ve been good, done my part Now I’m ready to depart ⸻ [Chorus] But the sky stayed quiet, the earth still spun No fire, no angels, no kingdom come Empty hands reaching, heart undone Waiting for a rapture that never comes ⸻ [Verse 2] Gave my rings, gave my name To the church and the hunger game Kept my eyes on glory’s prize But it never split the skies Let the garden go to weeds No more songs, no more needs Held my breath for the great escape But the morning sun just wouldn’t wait ⸻ [Pre-Chorus] Marching orders, trumpet call I believed it, gave it all Stood alone in Sunday best With a bible pressed against my chest ⸻ [Chorus] But the sky stayed quiet, the earth still spun No fire, no angels, no kingdom come Empty hands reaching, heart undone Waiting for a rapture that never comes ⸻ [Bridge] (soft and spacious) I saw clouds but no white horse Heaven took a different course Maybe I was meant to stay To find a better God that day ⸻ [Final Chorus] Now the sky is wide, the path unknown No golden gate, just flesh and bone But I’ve got breath and I’ve got time Maybe this life is the holy sign
