Days of Elijah#289

These are the days of Elijah, declaring the Word of the Lord.

And these are the days of Your servant, Moses;

Righteousness being restored.

And though these are days of great trials,

of famine and darkness and sword,

Still we are the voice in the desert crying,

“Prepare ye the way of the Lord.”

Behold He comes riding on the clouds, shining like the sun at the trumpet call.

So lift up your voice, it’s the year of Jubilee.And out of Zion’s hill

salvation comes.

These are the days of Ezekiel, the dry bones becoming

as flesh.And these are the days of

Your servant, David,Rebuilding the temple of praise.

And these are the days of the harvest;

the fields are as white in the world.

And we are Your laborers in Your vineyard declaring the

Word of the Lord.

Behold He comes riding on the clouds, shining like the sun at the trumpet call.

So lift up your voice, it’s the year of Jubilee.And out of Zion’s hill

salvation comes.

Behold He comes riding on the clouds, shining like the sun at the trumpet call.

So lift up your voice, it’s the year of Jubilee.And out of Zion’s hill

salvation comes.

Word of God, Speak

I’m finding myself at a loss for words,

and the funny thing is, it’s okay.The last thing I need

is to be heard,but to hear what You say.

Word of God, speak;Would You pour down like rain,

washing my eyes to see Your majesty?

To be still and know that You’re in this place;

Please let me stay and rest in Your holiness.

washing my eyes to see Your majesty?

To be still and know that You’re in this place;
