This Day of the Lord is coming soon we believe. The
earth has gotten so wicked with violence as we have
not seen. The Lord has given mercy to the World and
has kept back His judgment but, time is almost up.
The Day of the Lord
It was the dawning of a new day on Earth
and yet there was no denying
strange and unusual things were occurring
and signs now were visible in the unfriendly sky.
This dreadful time the Bible calls
The Day of the Lord has just begun and there is no escaping now
if you had refused to listen to His prophets
of yesterday as they tried to tell you how.
So now what child of woe
what will you plan to do now?
You had refused His gift of mercy and grace
and the time He gave you to get ready to bow.
For this Glorious Redeemer our long suffering Lord
has waited so long for you,
not wanting any to perish
as He was holding back His wrath for even just a few!
But the cup of His wrath has completely filled up
because of the disobedience and violence of man
and when it was full there is no holding back
and now it has spilled out all over the Earth’s sorrowing land.
The Bible says there has never been a time
on Earth as terrible as this
when death would be welcomed but fleeting and the pleasures
of your sin no longer would bring you a deceptive bliss.
This day will appear suddenly
although signs can already be seen
you still have time to escape if you believe on His name
and are washed in His blood then you will be ready for precious Holy King.
