Lyrics
When the cold winds blow
and bring the blizzard's snow,
When land and sky take on a grayish hue,
"Amen", I speak,
amidst the ice and sleet,
"Amen, amen" I say to You,
When the whole world quakes
and great land masses shake,
When fire from the earth begins to spew,
"Amen", I cry
as tragidy resides,
"Amen, amen" I say to You,
"Amen, amen", I raise this word to You,
"Amen, amen"--my heart knows that it's true
that the Hand that blots the sun and fans the crashing waves,
Will seperate the clouds and raise a better day,
As the years still roll
and strive to take their toll
on this poor frame of mine that time consumes,
"Amen", I'll say
until my final day,
"Amen, amen" I'll say to You,
"Amen,amen", I raise this word on high,
"Amen, amen"--my soul cannot deny,
That the eye that sees all strife yet seems to look away,
Is focused on the joy that makes that better day,
And that day will be,
for all eternity,
A day for those who are now born again,
Through Christ, we'll see
God's will so perfectly,
And know the wisdom in "Amen",
