There"s a rose in the desert
Blooming red in the drought
There"s a quenching rain
In the wings of the gathering clouds
LIFT YOUR EYES
LOOK TO THE HORIZON NOW
THERE"S STILL A HOPE FOR US
REACH UP FROM THE DUST
AND CALL IT DOWN
CAN YOU HEAR
CAN YOU HEAR THAT THUNDER
SING HIS NAME, SING IT OUT
"TIL THE SKY SPILLS OVER
I may just be dry bones
Stripped of sinew and skin
But the wind of His spirit
Will raise me up again
I LIFT MY EYES
I LOOK TO THE HORIZON NOW
OH, THERE"S STILL A SONG TO SING
FALL DOWN ON YOUR KNEES AND CRY ALOUD
CAN YOU HEAR
CAN YOU HEAR THAT THUNDER
SING HIS NAME, SING IT OUT
"TIL THE SKY SPILLS OVER
I hear the rolling thunder
Feel the pouring rain
My heart is filled with wonder
Only You remain
I see a new horizon
Coming up my way
I LIFT MY EYES
I LOOK TO THE HORIZON NOW
OH, THERE"S STILL A SONG TO SING
FALL DOWN ON YOUR KNEES AND CRY ALOUD
I CAN HEAR
I CAN HEAR THAT THUNDER
I"LL SING YOUR NAME, SING IT OUT
"TIL THE SKY SPILLS OVER
OH, I CAN HEAR
I CAN HEAR THAT THUNDER
I"LL SING YOUR NAME, SING IT OUT
"TIL THE SKY SPILLS OVER

Behind the Song:
This is an idea that that I came up with that Chris turned it into this crazy Mumford and Sons meets Avicii meets Smitty song. It"s so contagious! We decided to pull my son Ryan into this lyric because he"s a poet and he writes things with lots of imagery, and the lyric is just incredible. The chorus says, 'Can you hear? Can you hear that thunder singing out? Sing his name until the sky spills over.' The verse is: 'I may be just dry bones, stripped of sinew and skin, but the wind of the spirit will raise me up again.' - Michael W. Smith
