Streets are cold like a prophet's cry
Broken vows and questions why
Hearts turned from the flame inside
The altar’s ash where truth had died
Bring your best not the scraps you keep
Love ain't cheap and promises deep
I hear the echoes of ancient pain
Calling us back to the holy reign
Where's the love where's the fight
Where's the faith that lit the night
Robbing God with hands so bold
Silver coins but the soul's been sold
A covenant cracked a bride gone cold
But mercy waits like the prophets told
He's sending me prepare the way
Voice in the wild don't delay
Mountains crumble valley's rise
Glory falls from the darkest skies
Refined fire burning clean
Wash me pure unseen unseen
The King is coming bright and near
Turn your heart let Him appear
The book of Malachi
From dusty altars, offerings stained with scorn,
A broken covenant, a love that's been withdrawn.
Where is the honor due the Lord of Hosts demands,
As priests grow weary, with unclean, trembling hands.
Empty rituals, a hollow, heartless show,
While tithes are withheld, and blessings cease to flow.
Return to Me He pleads, with mercy in His voice,
Test Me in this matter, and make the righteous choice
The day is coming, burning like a fiery furnace,
Pride and wickedness consumed, leaving only remnants.
But for those who fear His name, a different fate awaits,
The Sun of Righteousness will rise, with healing in its rays.
Remember the Law of Moses, the statutes and decrees,
Before Elijah comes, to turn the hearts with ease.
Lest I come and strike the land with a curse so severe,
So listen to the warning, the time is drawing near
The book of Malachi
They call it smoke but it's ashes in the air
Promises broken hearts laid bare
Priests in the temple blind to the flame
Sacrifices offered but they're all in vein
Where is the love where is the fire
Have you traded truth for your own desires
You robbed me blind yet you ask how
With empty hands you take a vow
Your lips are loud but your hearts don't sing
You bring the shadows not the offering
Where is the trust where is the fear
The fire's waiting but you're not near
Return to me can't you see
You've been running running endlessly
I'm calling you back calling you home
The Sun will rise you won't be alone
The book of Malachi
