You came across the water
With destruction on your mind
Thinking nothing of the heartaches
And broken dreams you'd leave behind
You came crashing down with hatred
Tearing homes and lives in two
With a vengeful force of evil
But you didn't have a clue
That my Savior made a promise
He would never leave my side
And it really didn't matter
What sneaky tricks you tried
My momma's gone, you took her life
You came and had your say
But God took her soul to Heaven
And in His presence, she will stay
So bring destruction and the loss
Bring the driving rain
I will not live my life in fear
Nor give in to the pain
I thought you would destroy me
When you came rushing in
But heartache fades with time and prayer
And this time, you didn't win
