Be silent before the Sovereign Lord
The day is near
Zephaniah steps up, a prophet with fire
Bringing the warning, the stakes are dire
The day of the Lord, a day of dread
The proud brought low, the wicked dead
Corruption in Judah, the leaders stray
But God won't let the evil stay
The idols crumble, the nations fall
He'll stretch His hand and judge them all
The day is near, the fire will burn
From the depths of wrath, there's no return
Seek the Lord while He may be found
Or the judgment comes and shakes the ground
Gather the meek, gather the wise
Find refuge before the fire arrives
Woe to the nations, the proud, the vain
Their cities destroyed, their power in vain
Assyria falls, their pride erased
No kingdom stands when God's wrath is faced
But for the faithful, a promise remains
A remnant restored, redeemed from pain
He sings over them, a love so deep
While the world is judged, His children He keeps
The day is near, the fire will burn
From the depths of wrath, there's no return
Seek the Lord while He may be found
Or the judgment comes and shakes the ground
Behold, the Lord will sweep away everything
But rejoice, O Zion
The Lord your God is with you
He takes great delight in you
He renews you with His love
And sings over you with joy
Judgment falls, the proud erased
Mercy comes to the humble and chaste
Judgment falls, the proud erased
Mercy comes to the humble and chaste
Judgment falls, the proud erased
Mercy comes to the humble and chaste
Judgment falls, the proud erased
Mercy comes to the humble and chaste
The day is near, the fire will burn
From the depths of wrath, there's no return
Seek the Lord while He may be found
Or the judgment comes and shakes the ground
The day is near, the fire will burn
From the depths of wrath, there's no return
Seek the Lord while He may be found
Or the judgment comes and shakes the ground
The Lord has spoken
The remnant will rise
The day is near
