In That Storm

(Garbled) ..in that storm.
Well somebody got drownded in that storm.
Wasn't in that storm? Lord in that storm.
Well it's somebody got drownded in that storm.

Well my God works in the mysterious ways,
his wonders to perform.
He planted his footsteps out on the sea
and he rode out in that storm.

In that storm. Lord in that storm.
Well it's somebody got drownded in that storm.
(garbled).. got drownded in that storm.

Well Moses went to Egypt to lead the Israelites,
Pharoah he got angry and he went out on that ride.

(chorus)
In that storm. Lord in that storm.
Yeah Lord somebody got drownded in that storm.
Wasn't it in that storm? Wasn't it in that storm?
Well it's somebody got drownded in that storm.

Well Noah he was preachin,'
Those sinners now they sinned.

In nineteen hundred and fourteen,
that World War begun.
They fought a awful battle,
but no nations won.

Even Michael and his angels,
they fought a awful war
but in that mighty battle,
old Satan did depart.

and he moved till very late.
