LYRICS
Verse 1:
There’s a suffering before the Glory
But this hour of trial is not the end of the story
In the twinkling of an eye, He will shout and split the sky
And we’ll be changed…in a moment
But in meantime, there’s a race to run
To keep the faith until the kingdom comes
For the Lord He is not slow
Though some may count Him so
He’s just patient, He’s merciful
Chorus:
For the Day of the Lord is near and coming soon
When every word He’s spoken is proven true
The praise of men will come to an end
The Lord alone will be exalted then
On that great and Holy Day
For the Day of the Lord will come like a thief in the night
When the Holy One descends in a flaming fire
the one who perseveres in faith will finally be saved
On that great and Holy Day
Verse 2:
Pay no heed to the scoffers voice
You who fear the Lord will soon rejoice
For the wisdom of the wise will soon be justified
When He appears and we appear with Him
Blessed are you who are hated now
When for His sake you are cast out
Rejoice greatly in that day for your reward is great
When He returns and His reward with Him
