THE DAY OF THE LORD (LYRICS)
We walk in the shadow of the morning light,
Holding on to promises that guide our sight.
Hearts steady in trials, hands raised up high,
Waiting for glorious dawn that will never die.
Faith like a glowing lantern, hope like a sword,
We stand on the solid rock of the living Word.
The day of the Lord will come like a thief in the night,
Heaven will flee away, and the stars lose their light.
Elements melting, the earth and its works laid bare
Prepare your heart now; meet Him standing there.
Children of promise, sing through the flame,
Every lost moment was redeemed in His name.
God’s mercy is calling, His justice will rise,
Divine love is the compass beyond the skies.
Keep watching, keep loving, keep shining bright,
For we dwell in the city that carries His light.
The day of the Lord will come like a thief in the night,
Heaven will flee away, and the stars lose their light.
Elements melting, the earth and its works laid bare
Prepare your heart now; meet Him standing there.
Not in trembling fear, in redemption hope we await,
Righteousness is building our eternal estate.
When the old falls away and true things remain,
We will stand with our Maker, freed from all pain.
The day of the Lord will come like a thief in the night,
Heaven will flee away, and the stars lose their light.
Elements melting, the earth and its works laid bare
Prepare your heart now; meet Him standing there.

BIBLE REFERENCE
But the day of the Lord will come as a thief in the night; in the which the heavens shall pass away with a great noise, and the elements shall melt with fervent heat, the earth also and the works that are therein shall be burned up. 2 Peter 3:10
