Return to Me, and I will return to you
The Lord of Hosts has spoken
His messenger prepares the way
A love declared, but hearts turned cold
The priests defile, their vows grow old
Offerings flawed, the altar defamed
Malachi speaks, the Lord proclaims
Who can stand in the refiner's fire
Who will rise when the flames climb higher
Return to the Lord, let the fire consume
He purifies like the gold in the tomb
The day is coming, the righteous will rise
Like the sun of healing breaking the skies
Return, restore, refine, renew
The Lord is faithful
His word is true
The storehouse waits, the blessing flows
Will you bring the tithe, the promise He shows
A scroll of remembrance, the faithful remain
But for the wicked, only ashes and pain
The Lord will come
The Lord will reign
Prepare the way
The day of the Lord blazing like a furnace
But for those who fear His name
Rising with healing in its wings
In its wings
Return to the Lord, let the fire consume
He purifies like the gold in the tomb
The day is coming, the righteous will rise
Like the sun of healing breaking the skies
Remember the law
The great and dreadful day
The Lord is coming
The day of the Lord
Blazing like a furnace
But for those who fear His name
Rising with healing in its wings
Remember the law
The great and dreadful day
The Lord is coming
