[Verse 1]
I remember down in Galveston
When storm winds swept the town
The high tide from the ocean, Lord
Put water all around
[Chorus]
Wasn't that a mighty day? (A mighty day)
A mighty day (A mighty day)
A mighty day, great God, that mornin'
When the storm winds swept the town
[Verse 2]
The winds began to blowin'
The rains began to fall
The lightnin' shafts were cracklin', Lord
And thunder started to roll
[Chorus]
Wasn't that a mighty day? (A mighty day)
A mighty day (A mighty day)
A mighty day, great God, that mornin'
When the storm winds swept the town
[Verse 3]
The trumpets warned the people
"You'd better leave this place"
But they never meant to leave their homes
'Til death was in their face
[Verse 4]
The seas began to rollin'
The ships they could not land
I heard a captain cryin', "God
Please save a drowin' man"
[Chorus]
Wasn't that a mighty day?
A mighty day (A mighty day)
A mighty day, great God, that mornin'
When the storm winds swept the town
[Verse 5]
The trains, they all were loaded
With people leavin' town
The tracks gave way to the ocean, Lord
And the trains they went on down
[Verse 6]
The waters like some river
They came a-rushin' to and fro
I saw my father drowin', God
And I watched my mother go
[Chorus]
Wasn't that a mighty day? (A mighty day)
A mighty day (A mighty day)
A mighty day, great God, that mornin'
When the storm winds swept the town
[Verse 7]
Now, Death, your hands are icy
You've got them on my knee
You took away my mother
Now, you're comin' after me
[Chorus]
Wasn't that a mighty day? (A mighty day)
A mighty day (A mighty day)
A mighty day, great God, that mornin'
When the storm winds swept the town
[Chorus]
A mighty day (A mighty day)
A mighty day (A mighty day)
A mighty day, great God, that mornin'
When the storm winds swept the town
