Summer rains keep coming down
It's about to swallow up this town
You get the feeling that there's trouble ahead
Folks say they've never seen the river acting quite this mean
No one can stop it when it needs to be fed.

Look at the river, the powerful river
Greater than we understand
Awesome in anger, Crazy with hunger, dragging us under
But You have the power, The power to heal us
Greater than we understand
Righteous in anger, Awesome with wonder
We reach out for your hand. Yeah

Too many years since the lava flow
This old mound is about to blow
Covering anything that gets in it's way
Not alot that you can say or do
When the mountain wants to roll over you,
But, Gather up the ones you love, and start to pray.

Look at the mountain, the powerful mountain
Greater than we understand
Awesome in anger, Crazy with hunger, dragging us under
But You have the power, The power to heal us
Greater than we understand
Righteous in anger, Awesome with wonder
We reach out for your hand. Yeah, yeah, yeah, yeah.

But You have the power, The power to heal us
Greater than we understand
Righteous in anger, Awesome with wonder
Greater than we understand. Yeah.

As far as you or I can see, hard times there will always be.
Thank GOD for answers to the trouble ahead.
