Maranatha Lyrics

Maranatha come Lord Jesus

Maranatha come Lord Jesus

The world is dreaming while the back-room scheming

Keeps the story fresh and ever new

But the Church is sleeping and the shepherds keeping

Silent as the wolves have told them to

Let the Church arise

The time to fight is nigh

The Judge is coming and the wolves are running

Let the Liberator come through

The crowd is fickle and the hammer and sickle

Are the latest banner in vogue

But woe to the those who will resist the blows

And have the strength to stand and go rogue

In the darkest of nights

The Cross alone will shine bright

"Resist the plan!" we sing with open hands

And holding on to Life we let go

The path gets harder in this age of martyrs

Is our blood required for faith?

If love's our opus let the world take notice

Stop charging us with false hate

Christ alone's our creed

For Him we're prepared to bleed

We won't back down upon the solid ground

The Rock of Truth can't dissipate

Fallen Babylon the world depended on

The circuses and the bread

The mammon idols made them suicidal

What they thought was life left them dead

But there's a different song

Announcing brighter dawn

The days are coming when the saints go running

When heav'n and earth will be wed

The world is turning as the bridge is burning

Separating present from past

With all our learning it's getting hard discerning

What is fiction what is fact

The only Truth I ever knew

O Lord I found it in You

Not the zeitgeist but the pearl of great price

In the end He alone will last
