SONG STUDY (20) THESE ARE THE DAYS OF ELIJAH

June 28 2024

Robin Mark: Composer of this popular song and other familiar melodies hails from Northern Ireland in the United Kingdom. "...I write only when I feel I have something to say. I cannot sit down and write automatically or prolifically, God hasn't given me that gift, unfortunately! But whether it’s in music, song, business, family or other area of service, so long as I am praising Him, that's all that matters."

 These are the days of Elijah, declaring the Word of the Lord.

And these are the days of Your servant, Moses, righteousness being restored.

And though these are days of great trials, of famine and darkness and sword,

Still we are the voice in the desert, crying,“Prepare ye the way of the Lord.”

 

Behold He comes, riding on the clouds shining like the sun at the trumpet call

So lift your voice it’s the year of Jubilee and out of Zion’s hill salvation comes.

And these are the days of Ezekiel, the dry bones becoming as flesh.

And these are the days of Your servant, David rebuilding a temple of praise.

And these are the days of the harvest, the fields are white in the world

And we are Your labourers in Your vineyard declaring the Word of the Lord
