Why in the world did I run and hide
From the Son of Man to shelter in my foolish pride?
The way, the truth, the life, the sacrifice
As for me it's sweet surrender to my Lord Jesus Christ

Let the thunder crash and the lightning strike
And the sky cave in today
Only You can wash my sins away
Let the thunder crash and the lightning strike
I'm down on my knees to pray
Only You can wash my sins away

See my face in the mirror, my blood runs hot and cold
Like whisper speaking thunder into my very soul
The faintest spark could strike and burst into the flame
I know You'll be that fire in me when I hear You call my name

Let the thunder crash and the lightning strike
And the sky cave in today
Only You can wash my sins away
Let the thunder crash and the lightning strike
I'm down on my knees to pray
Only You can wash my sins away

Maybe a change of heart and mind
Could make me begin to read between the lines
That fairy tales with happy endings
Were just once upon a time
Let the thunder crash and the lightning strike
And the sky cave in today
Only You can wash my sins away
Let the thunder crash and the lightning strike
I'm down on my knees to pray
Only You can wash my sins away
