After the Storm

That storm had my heart beating as I rode herd through the night All that rumbling of thunder and savage flashes of light The darkness felt uneasy as drenching rain fell in shrouds And with each flash of lightning I saw thick black boiling clouds Well the storm has passed on by and morning drifts o'er the plain I sit here in my saddle tired and damp from last night's rain Gazing across this landscape where everything’s been washed clean There's a mist on the mountains so heavy they can’t be seen The cattle graze peacefully day rises over the hills Under this low hanging sky my world sits silent and still From between my horse’s ears in this gray light of the day I see all of God's glory so I bow my head to pray To thank God for seeing fit to bring me through that dark night Letting me witness once more his majestic morning light Sometimes it makes me wonder how Heaven could truly be Anything more glorious than this valley is to me
