Christ Centric - The Day of the Lord

Verse 1: Q-D.O.G.
The day of the Lord, the day of the Lord
Is coming like a thief in the night, brief is the life
Of the present heaven and earth that will pass away
And He’ll cast away those who second His worth
And mock the promise of His parousia
Let it be news to the proud, with a loud roar intense heat will pour
And the elements will soar and scatter, check your data
It’s the Word of His power that sustains your matter
But, still with laughter you’re seeking your lust
But trust His preaching that God’s now slow as some count slowness
A day is like a thou to Him
And either then or now, in lowness your knee will bow to Him
And with the same Word judgment is being reserved
For the earth and all therein
With a just prescription of fire, that can’t be quenched
And against all loft and pretense, His sword is dispensed
Arising to make the earth tremble, crash like a cymbal
Dash the high mental, the Lord is in His temple
And does what He pleases, and loves those who believe this
But all that’s high will be abased, and the Lord will be exalted alone
Check your error, its mad terror to face the Lord God on the throne
And the Lord will be exalted alone
Check your error, its mad terror to face the Lord God on the throne.

Hook:
The day of the Lord, the day of the Lord, yeah
The day of the Lord, the day of the Lord, come on
The day of the Lord, the day of the Lord
Repent and trust Christ or be slain by His sword!

Verse 2: Timothy Brindle
It goes woe to those who doubt and defy
Until they see the Son of Man coming in the clouds of the sky
With power and glory, hear the great trumpet
If you’re doubting His story, fear you face judgment
He’ll gather His elect and all His peeps and His folks
And add them to his set and separate the sheep from the goats
He’ll by no means leave the guilty unpunished
And those redeemed will see the filthy ones plummet
And the Lamb decides who can stand beside Him
You can’t deny sin when His standard tries
He’ll analyze those who fantasize and glamorize
And put His commands aside them
Who ran to hide, but to man’s surprise
He can’t disguise his outlandish lies kid
He thought his plan was wise
But he’s damned to die to a land no one can describe
Heretics and liars, beware of the Messiah
Behold, the Lord will come in chariots of fire
And what makes you think you can’t be crushed into dirt
By the One who made you from the dust of the earth
But don’t trust in your works, kid, you need a favor
Seek the Savior, Jesus the mediator
You’re gonna meet Him either in judgment or in grace
So believe He took your punishment in your place.

Hook:

Verse 3: Evangel
No reverence, even though we know we got a feel for His presence
His wrath is revealed from the heavens
You can’t see afar off you lack and you blind
Though you know He exists in the back of your mind
You suppress the truth so you can’t believe
Even if you’ve seen more tracks than hairweaves
Why do the heathen’s rage?
We don’t even believe His ways in this evil age
Every man’ll go to a place that doesn’t have His grace
And it’s highly flammable like Amoco
To God be the glory its all Your plan
Man is damned without the help of Jean Claude van
We’ve all been anointed with breath/
And we’re all gonna be judged after our appointment with death
Heaven—God bars men that sin
You can’t escape out the backdoor like squad cars
This is a state of concern
While men tremble, we’ll assemble and await His return
This is a state of concern
While men tremble, we’ll assemble and await His return!
