While the rain water fell from a violent sky
On the edge of a town, there was a terrible cry
And a baby was born in the year 29
When all the money was gone and they ran out of time
In the light of her eyes was a heavenly fire
In the light of her eyes was a heavenly fire
Jesus won't you call her home
Call her till' the kingdom comes
She was only a child
She was stubborn and brave
She ran into the world
Full of sorrow and pain
With a powerful heart
She grew up in the south
She had a tongue like a sword
She had a gun for a mouth
In the light of her eyes was a heavenly fire
In the light of her eyes was a heavenly fire
Jesus won't you call her home
Call her till' the kingdom comes
Where the wind in the night
Tore a hole in the trees
And a tornado ran
In the air of the field
Was a boy being born
In a tangle of wire
They put a gun in his hand
He had an aching desire
In the light of his eyes was a heavenly fire
In the light of his eyes was a heavenly fire
Jesus won't you call him home
Call him till' the kingdom comes
He was only a teen
With a crack in his soul
He went to fight in the war
He went to call it his own
Coming home as a kid
With the trouble ahead
He found his money and time
He found a woman to wed
In the light of their eyes was a heavenly fire
In the light of their eyes was a heavenly fire
Jesus won't you call them home
Call them till' the kingdom comes
