Lightning, lightning
Lightning, lightning
I've been dancing in the rain
Since you called out my name
You came like lightning and saved my soul
I haven't always lived in freedom
I used to wear the chains of shame and doubt
Inside my heart was like a desert
Waiting for your rain to come down
Then like a freight train
Your holy ghost came
Shaking the ground underneath my feet
Your mercy rolled in
My chains were broken
And I've got joy 'cause you set me free
You came like lightning and saved my soul
Run in like thunder and shook my bones
Now I'm dancing in the rain
Since you called out my name
You came like lightning and saved my soul
Lightning, lightning
Lightning, lightning
Now I'm dancing in the rain
Since you called out my name
You came like lightning and saved my soul
There may be days when it ain't easy
Trouble has brought me to my knees
But you remind me of your goodness
Just like the day your holy storm washed over me
You came like lightning and saved my soul
Run in like thunder and shook my bones
Now I'm dancing in the rain
Since you called out my name
You came like lightning and saved my soul
Lightning, lightning
Lightning, lightning
Now I'm dancing in the rain
Since you called out my name
You came like lightning and saved my soul
I got that joy (joy) down in my heart
I got your peace (peace) inside of me
I got that love (love) filling me up
I got that joy, joy, joy, joy, down in my heart
Lightning, lightning
Lightning, lightning
You came like lightning and saved my soul
Run in like thunder and shook my bones
Now I'm dancing in the rain
Since you called out my name
You came like lightning and saved my soul
You came like lightning
You came like lightning
You came like lightning and saved my soul
You came like lightning
You came like lightning
You came like lightning and saved my soul
You came like lightning (you came like lightning)
You came like lightning
You came like lightning and saved my soul
