A powerful wind tore the mountains apart
Apart apart
But the Lord was not in the wind
After the wind was an earthquake
An earthquake an earthquake
But the Lord was not in the earthquake
After the earthquake came a fire
A fire a fire
But the Lord was not in the fire
After the fire came a still small voice
A voice a voice
And that was was the voice of God
