[Verse 1] When the sky came down around us And the windows shook all night Every voice was selling shelter Every shadow picked a fight Couldn't see what I was fighting Couldn't tell which voice was true I wasn't trying to win an argument I was trying to get to you [Verse 2] In the morning by the back steps There was glass across the ground All the stuff I'd worked to pay for Scattered halfway through the town Then you brought two cups of coffee Set one down beside my chair I'd been counting every broken thing Till I saw you standing there [Chorus] After the storm When the shouting fades away I can hear the voice of God Through the wreckage of the day There's a hand still holding mine There's a light above the door After the storm I know what I was living for [Verse 3] All the voices selling panic Had another point to make But they never brought a shovel Or a board to mend the gate Then the neighbor with the yard sign I had cursed the week before Showed up carrying a chainsaw And some plywood for our door [Chorus] After the storm When the shouting fades away I can hear the voice of God Through the wreckage of the day There's a hand still holding mine There's a light above the door After the storm I know what I was living for [Verse 4] Found my Bible on the counter With some water on the page All those words I'd heard on Sundays Had a different weight that day He was with me in the shaking He was with me in the rain Everything around had shifted But His promise hadn't changed [Bridge] I don't have to call the damage good To see that You were there When I couldn't find the words to pray You heard me gasp for air Let me carry what I've learned here When the skies are blue once more Let me see the person standing there Before the sign beside their door [Final Chorus] After the storm When the shouting fades away I can hear the voice of God Through the wreckage of the day There's a hand still holding mine There's a light above the door After the storm I know what I was living for [Outro] There's work to do tomorrow There's a reason to go on But tonight you're here beside me And I know I'm not alone After the storm
