From the recording Sarcastic Cafe
Lyrics
Lightning in Wilderness
Lightning in wilderness far from a town
Someone put it down for no one to see
Breathing a word through the whispering wind
Fall into the ground as soon as it ends
The rain in a time to replenish the land
Where there dwells no man to take it to heart
Food in the bellies of unthankful men
Something could be found when suppertime came
Prospers the bud of the tenderest herb
To satisfy the hungry beasts of the field
For years this has happened for days it won’t end
Grace is showered down on both enemy and friend
Though you may be doubted and though you might laugh
Someone’s blood was shed on your own behalf
For God in His great love for you and for me
Gave His only son
For God in His great love for enemy and foe
Gave His only son
