People wear a vested interest in covering up the lies Will tell you it's the same since the world's foundation Morning and noon and night But the Lord is not slack in His promises Each day is by His command He's just giving everybody a chance for salvation Before He lowers His hand The day of the Lord is comin' like a thief in the deep of the night To strike fear in the heart of darkness and joy in the children of light As it was in the time of Noah so shall His coming be No one's going to know the hour or the minute But the signs are getting plainer to see The gospel is preached to the nations
The victories leaves are green Young men are prophesying Old men are dreaming dreams Sinew is knitted to sinew Bones being fastened to bone And every day nearer to the day of the Lord Is like a thousand years closer to home Jesus is coming in power to sit on a throne of light Calling every nation before His face Judging man left and right And He'll give the keys of the Kingdom To everyone worthy to stand To those found walking in righteousness in the day of the Son of Man And every day nearer to the day of the Lord Is like a thousand years closer to home
