Reckoning Lyrics - Counting Stars - Andrew Peterson

I can see the storm descending on the hill tonight 

Tall trees are bending to your will tonight 

Let the mighty bow down 

At the thundering sound of your voice 

I can hear the howling wind and feel the rain tonight 

Every drop a prophet in your name tonight 

And the words that they sing 

They are washing me clean, but 

How long until this curtain is lifted? 

How long is this the song that we sing? 

How long until the reckoning? 

And I know you hear the cries of every soul tonight 

You see the teardrops as they roll tonight 

Down the faces of saints 

Who grow weary and faint in your fields

And the wicked roam the cities and the streets tonight 

But when the God of love and thunder speaks tonight 

Down the faces of saints 

Who grow weary and faint in your fields 

And the wicked roam the cities and the streets tonight 

But when the God of love and thunder speaks tonight 

I believe You will come 

Your justice be done, but how long? 

You are holiness and grace 

You are fury and rest 

You are anger and love 

You curse and you bless 

You are mighty and weak 

You are silence and song 

You are plain as the day, 

But you have hidden your face-- 

For how long? How long?

And I am standing in the stillness of the reckoning 

The storm is past and rest is beckoning 

Mighty God, how I fear you 

How I long to be near you, O Lord 

How long until the burden is lifted? 

How long is this the song that we sing? 

How long until the reckoning? 

And I know that I don't know what I'm asking 

But I long to look you full in the face 

I am ready for the reckoning
