[Verse 1]
Salt on her skin
Iron in her braid
Cold sea biting
But her heart won’t fade
Storm on the horizon
Ships like broken bones
She feels Your whisper
Deep in ancient stones
[Chorus]
She lifts her wings in the northern sky
Fear falls quiet when You walk nearby
Faith like fire in the midnight rain
God of thunder
God of tender flame
Orkney blood and a lion’s roar
She will not run
She will trust You more
Every battle
Every crashing tide
You ride before her
You ride beside
[Verse 2]
Shields on the shoreline
Voices in the gale
Old songs echo
Of a tribe that never fails
She tastes the danger
Smiles into the fight
Says
“Lord
My courage
Is just Your borrowed light”
[Chorus]
She lifts her wings in the northern sky
Fear falls quiet when You walk nearby
Faith like fire in the midnight rain
God of thunder
God of tender flame
Orkney blood and a lion’s roar
She will not run
She will trust You more
Every battle
Every crashing tide
You ride before her
You ride beside
[Bridge]
Let the dark wind howl (let it howl)
Let the long night stay
She has carved Your name
In her war-worn blade
Every scar a story
Every tear a psalm
In the clash and crying
You are still her calm (oh)
[Chorus]
She lifts her wings in the northern sky
Fear falls quiet when You walk nearby
Faith like fire in the midnight rain
God of thunder
God of tender flame
Orkney blood and a lion’s roar
She will not run
She will trust You more
Every battle
Every crashing tide
You ride before her
You ride inside
