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.
Word of God, speak.
I’m finding myself
in the midst of You,
beyond the music,
beyond the noise.
All that I need is to be with You,
And in the quiet,
hear Your voice.
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.

We bring the sacrifice of praise
