Something is shaking,
Shaking the earth.
Was it always here?
Or is this the birth?

Why is it so bright?
Before, I couldn't see.
What is it, my Lord,
Before me?

It's the living God,
No church walls could hold.
The living God,
A fire in my soul.

The living God.
It's like waking from a dream.
The living God
Lives in me.

All my "me me" dreams
Fall from my eyes.
Fire blazes away
The lies, lies, lies.

The waters of life
Are a flood, and I drink.
The word of God
Is a song, and I sing.

It's the living God,
No church walls could hold.
The living God,
A fire in my soul.

The living God.
It's like waking from a dream.
The living God
Lives in me.
