Ref: Hebrews 12:27-28 The day I wrote this song the war with Iraq started. It was mostly inspired however, by Mark Hoffman’s second book, ON EARTH AS IT IS IN HEAVEN. It is also a metaphor for living in the shadow of the Big California Earthquake.
When the shaking comes, and you feel the ground a-rumbling. When the shaking comes.
When the shaking comes, houses will be tumbling. When the shaking comes.
When the big-one comes, you’ll be looking for some cover. When the shaking comes.
When the shaking comes, and you’re screaming for your mother. When the shaking comes.
Do you live on the sand? Or are your feet on the rock?
Is your life in His hands? Are you walking the talk?
Are you storing up treasures, in a barn that will burn?
Can you hide from the King? Tell me where will you turn?When the shaking comes.
When the shaking comes, are you ready for your maker? When the shaking comes.
When the shaking comes, will you survive a major quaker? When the shaking comes.
When the big-one comes, will you be standing or a victim? When the shaking comes.
When the shaking comes, get into the rhythm? When the shaking comes.
Do you bow to the King? Or give in to the world?
Are you feeling the sting, losing diamonds and pearls?
Will you be on the edge when the ground gives away?
Are you ready for Jesus? No, you can’t run away when the shaking comes!
Ashes, ashes we all fall down; Movers and shakers are running from town.
Hiding in rocks in the mountains and caves. We gotta tell em only Jesus can save you…
When the shaking comes!
When the shaking comes, to the spiritual kingdom. When the shaking comes.
When the shaking comes, you’ll find unshakable wisdom. When the shaking comes.
When the big-one comes, and the ground is shaken round us when the shaking comes.
When it all comes down if you’re standing on a promise when the shaking comes…
You won’t be shaking; no no no, you won't be shaking at all! No no no you won't be shaking!
