Called from water, called by flame
Left their father, left their name
Not yet knowing what would break
When thunder learned to kneel and ache
They asked for fire to fall from sky
To scorch the ones who would deny
But lightning learned a different art
When mercy struck a thundered heart
Sons of thunder, rolling wide
Storm in bone and surge in stride
Voices forged in wind and wonder
James and John, the sons of thunder
Sons of thunder, rumbling low
Hearts that burned but learned to bow
Power turned from wrath to wonder
James and John, the sons of thunder
They saw the mountain split with light
Heard the voice in blinding white
Fell like stones beneath the sound
Holy thunder shook the ground
They leaned against His wounded side
Watched the sky grow dark and wide
Storm was silent at the cross
Thunder swallowed up and lost
They dreamed of thrones at either hand
Asked for crowns in kingdom land
But thunder's throne was not of pride
It bled before it multiplied
Sons of thunder, rolling wide
Storm in bone and surge in stride
Voices forged in wind and wonder
James and John, the sons of thunder
Sons of thunder, rumbling low
Hearts that burned but learned to bow
Power turned from wrath to wonder
James and John, the sons of thunder
One would fall by Herod's blade
Thunder quiet, courage stayed
Blood like lightning struck the sand
Storm fulfilled by sovereign hand
One would live to see the veil
Pulled from heaven's hidden trail
Thunder turned to witness flame
Writing love in Jesus' name
In Jesus' name
Sons of thunder
Sons of thunder
Sons of thunder
Whoa
Sons of thunder, rolling wide
Storm in bone and surge in stride
Voices forged in wind and wonder
James and John, the sons of thunder
Sons of thunder, rumbling low
Hearts that burned but learned to bow
Power turned from wrath to wonder
James and John, the sons of thunder
Sons of thunder, carved in flame
Storm that bowed to greater name
Not by wrath nor rage nor plunder
James and John, the sons of thunder
Sons of thunder, echo still
Hearts remade to match His will
Storm once wild now torn asunder
James and John, the sons of thunder
He spoke, and the thunder followed Him
Thunder taught to follow Him
