Verse 1 Silence falls on the city gates, Complacent hearts that sealed their fate, Gold and silver can’t buy the dawn, When the hand of justice moves along. Idols whisper in the midnight air, But they can’t hide from the Lord’s declare, A searching fire, a holy sound, The proud are shaken to the ground. Pre-Chorus The day is coming, the trumpet cries, No disguise beneath the skies… Chorus The Day of the Lord is near and it’s burning bright, Darkness trembles at the edge of light, But even in the storm, mercy will rise, A purified people in His eyes. Sing it loud, let the broken be restored, He will rejoice over us once more— With singing, with healing, with holy love, The God who judges is lifting us up. Verse 2 Woe to the ones who twist what’s right, Who live like truth is out of sight, But still a remnant calls His name, And He remembers them the same. He gathers scattered hearts in grace, Turns shame into a resting place, From every nation, every shore, He calls His people home once more. Pre-Chorus The fire refines, but it won’t destroy, It clears the way for holy joy… Chorus The Day of the Lord is near and it’s burning bright, Darkness trembles at the edge of light, But even in the storm, mercy will rise, A purified people in His eyes. Sing it loud, let the broken be restored, He will rejoice over us once more— With singing, with healing, with holy love, The God who judges is lifting us up. Bridge Be silent, all the earth, before His throne, For the Lord will make His justice known, But out of ashes, hope will sing, The humble crowned as children of the King. Final Chorus The Day of the Lord is near, but grace is strong, He’s been redeeming us all along, From judgment’s fire to mercy’s embrace, We stand redeemed in a resting place. Sing it loud, let the nations hear the word: Our God restores what sin has blurred— He rejoices over us with love so deep, And calls His people home in peace.
