(Spoken)
Listen, my brothers and sisters... King Belshazzar held a great feast. He praised himself instead of the living God. He took the holy cups from the Temple in Jerusalem And drank from them with pride. Then suddenly... A hand appeared, Writing on the palace wall. No king, no wise man, Could change God's judgment. Respect the Lord, For He alone is holy!
(Verse 1)
Belshazzar called a mighty feast, Princes gathered from the east. Wine was flowing, music loud, Pride had covered all the crowd. Holy vessels from God's house, He misused them without doubt. Praising idols made of stone, Forgetting God upon the throne.
(Chorus)
Read the writing on the wall, Pride will surely make you fall. Honor God with all you do, He is holy, He is true. King of heaven, Lord of all, Hear His voice before you fall. Turn your heart and seek His face, Walk each day in truth and grace.
(Verse 2)
Suddenly a hand appeared, Every heart was filled with fear. On the wall the message came, None could read the holy Name. The king was shaking, filled with dread, Every boast and pride had fled. None could tell what it would mean, Until God's servant walked the scene.
(Chorus)
Read the writing on the wall, Pride will surely make you fall. Honor God with all you do, He is holy, He is true. King of heaven, Lord of all, Hear His voice before you fall. Turn your heart and seek His face, Walk each day in truth and grace.
(Verse 3)
Daniel stood with faith so strong, Said, "O king, you've done God wrong. You knew how the Lord humbled pride, Yet from His truth you chose to hide. Mene, Mene, Tekel, Upharsin, God has weighed your life within. Your kingdom now has reached its end, His judgment no one can amend."
(Bridge)
God is holy, God is just. Put in Him Your every trust. Earthly kingdoms Fade away, But God's kingdom Stands always.
(Call and Response)
Who alone is holy?
The Lord Almighty!
Who sees every heart?
The God of Heaven!
What must we do?
Repent and obey!
Who reigns forever?
Jesus Christ our King!
(Verse 4)
Don't be blinded by your fame, Don't dishonor God's great Name. Every blessing comes from Him, Without His light our hope grows dim. Lift your hands and worship now, Before the King of heaven bow. He gives mercy to the wise, And lifts the humble to the skies.
( Chorus)
Read the writing on the wall, Pride will surely make you fall. Honor God with all you do, He is holy, He is true. King of heaven, Lord of all, Hear His voice before you fall. Turn your heart and seek His face, Walk each day in truth and grace.
( Chorus)
Read the writing on the wall, Pride will surely make you fall. Honor God with all you do, He is holy, He is true. King of heaven, Lord of all, Hear His voice before you fall. Turn your heart and seek His face, Walk each day in truth and grace.
(Outro)
The writing on the wall Still speaks today. Honor the Lord, Walk in humility, And give Him all the glory. For His kingdom Will never end. Hallelujah!
