Hello! and I have been working on this song about Jesus' second coming, based off of Malachi 4:1-3 and Zechariah 12. We would love your input on the lyrics more specifically, there are some spots where we can't find the right phrase. If you have any other input about the overall song that you think should be reworked please let us know. Thanks! VERSE 1
When you appear in glory,
You will break open the skies.
All of your foes will tremble,
For the Victor has arrived!
And when you appear in power,
You will set creation free.
All of the earth will worship
And will shout its jubilee! // For the end of suffering
--or--
And when you appear in power
With a voice of roaring seas
We will fall down and worship
At the sound of your decree
--or--
And when you appear in power
With a face of blazing sun
We will fall down and worship
For the/our victory is won
CHORUS
On that day, we will see the Living Cornerstone.
On that day, you will wipe our tears away.
On that day, every knee will bow before your throne
Oh, how we long, how we long — for that day!
VERSE 2
When you appear with fire,
You will rectify all wrong.
Sin will be crushed forever,
For your righteous hand is strong.
And when you appear in splendor,
Mighty angels by your side,
You’ll bring us home to Heaven,
For you’ve purified your bride.
BRIDGE
Come, Lord Jesus, come, oh come!
(We are waiting here for you.)
Come, Lord Jesus, come, oh come!
(Come and make all things new.)
Come, Lord Jesus, come, oh come!
(We are waiting here for you)
Come, Lord Jesus,
All: Jesus, come, oh come!
FINAL CHORUS
On that day, you will rise with healing in your wings
On that day, the dead will rise in victory?? // we will stand before our King??
On that day, ever near, you fin’lly will appear.
Oh, how we long, how we wait
To see the dawn of that day
When you will make all things new—on that day!
