The sun rises like a bird With healing in its wings Shines the light of righteousness On the broken and unclean And this righteousness comes not By the working of our hands But here is the gift of God Purchased by the spotless lamb As by you law we were condemned By your grace we are restored And by grace alone we'll stand On the great day of the Lord Chorus On the great day of the Lord When the dead in Christ shall rise And the sun and moon will be replaced By the light in Jesus' eyes On the great day of the Lord On the great day of the Lord So we wait for your return Like a bride awaits her groom And with all creation yearn That the day is coming soon Oh you'll ride in victory And darkness reigns no more And the coming of our king On the great of the Lord Repeat Chorus On the great day of the Lord When at last I'll hear him say Welcome faithful servant Enter in the joy today On the great day of the Lord On the great day of the Lord And every knee will bow And every tongue confess That you are Lord Jesus, you are Lord Yes, every knee will bow And every tongue confess That you are Lord You alone are Lord On the great day of the Lord On the great day of the Lord The sun rises like a bird With healing in its wings Shines the light of righteousness On the broken and unclean
