**Verse 1**
One day with the Lord is as a thousand,
Time is His and never delayed,
Though the world may seem slow in coming,
God’s promises will not fade.
He waits to show His mercy gracious,
But judgment’s sure and coming fast,
Every mountain, every ocean,
Shall pass away, not meant to last.
**Chorus**
The day of the Lord is coming,
Like fire and burning flame,
The earth will fade and vanish,
But the pure will stand and reign.
So lift your hearts in holiness,
And live in peace and hope,
For in His perfect timing,
God will come to make all whole.
**Verse 2**
Look for new heavens and a new earth,
Where righteousness will be our guide,
Where all things made will be renewed,
And God will dwell with us inside.
He calls us to live holy lives,
In patient faith and earnest love,
While we await the dawn of glory,
Sent from heaven high above.
**Chorus**
The day of the Lord is coming,
Like fire and burning flame,
The earth will fade and vanish,
But the pure will stand and reign.
So lift your hearts in holiness,
And live in peace and hope,
For in His perfect timing,
God will come to make all whole.
**Verse 3**
Do not be fooled by empty promise,
But stand firm in His command,
Hold fast to faith and set your vision,
On the day the Lord will stand.
All creation will be renewed,
The heavens burst with holy light,
Until that day, keep your hearts ready,
Fix your eyes on Christ the Light.
**Chorus**
The day of the Lord is coming,
Like fire and burning flame,
The earth will fade and vanish,
But the pure will stand and reign.
So lift your hearts in holiness,
And live in peace and hope,
For in His perfect timing,
God will come to make all whole.
