2PETER – The Day of the Lord by Bro H

Verse 1 Knowing this first, there shall come in the last days Scoffers walking after their own lusts Saying, “Where is the promise of His coming?” For all things continue as they were from the beginning But this they willingly are ignorant of That by the word of God the heavens were The world that then was, being overflowed with water Perished—just as He declared Verse 2 The heavens and earth which are now by the same word Are kept in store, reserved unto fire Against the day of judgment and perdition Of ungodly men in their desire For when they shall say, “Peace and safety” Then sudden destruction comes As travail upon a woman with child And they shall not escape what’s begun Chorus The Day of the Lord comes as a thief in the night Not in silence—but sudden, with power and might The elements melt, every work laid bare The wicked consumed—but the righteous are spared Verse 3 The day of the Lord will come as a thief The heavens shall pass with a great noise The elements melt with fervent heat And fire will test every work and every choice Seeing then all these things shall be dissolved What manner of persons ought ye to be In all holy conduct and godliness Looking for that day faithfully Verse 4 Looking for and hastening unto the coming Of the day when the heavens burn Nevertheless we, according to His promise Look for righteousness to return New heavens and earth wherein dwelleth Righteousness established and true Be diligent to be found in peace Without spot—He’s calling you Bridge One day is with the Lord as a thousand years He is not slack as men suppose But long-suffering toward us, not willing That His people should be lost to the throes
