The Great Stop

from Perseids by David Burchfield

/

lyrics

When the great stop is pull - ed
On a grand church or - gan
The people feel the spirit’s song
Just below the rum - ble

How could I explain things
That I have only fe - lt
But I know if you would feel it too
You would hear the roar unde - niable

When a mountain moves
From its very core
There erupts a rolling thunder
Which can’t held by any barrier

In the storm of the o - cean
In the hurricane’s fo - am
There is a sound much dee - per
Than I in my voice could ever
con - jure

When the sea floor starts to move
And sends up a great white wave
There is a warning issued forth
That only the animals heed

Though there be unquestionable
da - nger
In things not understo - od
In some you find feel - ing
That this indeed is something
good

So when I feel that sound again
Shaking in my chest
I’ll tremble for its awful power
And glory in its goodness
