Rick Lee James performs "Thunder," a song built on biblical imagery where thunder marks moments of spiritual power: the temple cleared, the veil torn, the stone rolled away. Poetic and repetitive, it uses the storm as a metaphor for God's presence through suffering, death, and resurrection.

Chapters

Shattered by the power of the Word. It sounded like thunder when you cleared the temple. It sounded like thunder sometimes when you create incredible wonder. When the veil was torn in glory, it sounded like thunder when the stones rolled away. When you cleared the temple, it sounded like thunder. Sometimes when you prayed, incredible wonder. When the veil was torn in glory, it sounded like thunder. When the stones rolled away. When I think about you giving and loving and crying and suffering our pain. When I think about you living, dying, rising, my tears fall like rain. It sounded like thunder when you cleared the temple. It sounded like thunder Sometimes when you pray, incredible wonder. When the veil was torn and glory, it sounded like thunder. When the storm was rolled away, yeah. When the storm was rolled away.
