when the bomb drops

when the bomb drops, when i lose it all
when all my past comes to call
and prayers like morning mist fade into the sky

when the sky falls, when repentance peals
like thunder and the stalwart reel
and tears come from a well drawn dry

that's when I know I'll find you
that's when I know you'll be near
that's when love rings true
it's simple, and it's clear

when hearts break, when truth rips out
as clamorous as the touchdown shout
and mourning marks the day

when light shines, and darkness flees
into the ether and away from me
and love's steps mark the way

that's when I know I'll find you
that's when I know you'll be near
that's when love rings true
it's simple, and it's clear

when hell breaks loose upon the land
when heaven answers with mercied hand
and grace is shed abroad

when I stand to my feet once more
and come to knock at your door
loved by none but God

that's when I know I'll find you
that's when I know you'll be near
that's when love rings true
it's simple, and it's clear
