Days of Elijah!!

I am so thrilled to have found this video clip because this song is extremely special to me. I first sang it at Spring Harvest 1998 when Robin Mark and Dave Pope were leading worship. My home church was fully functionally cessationist and had abandoned the principles of Restoration preferring a fatalist eschatology. This song gripped me! The hope! The vision! The passion! I think it was at this conference that I began to see the flames beginning to fire Ern Baxter's vision that I had listened to time after time. I know it is a controversial song in some circles - but I LOVE it! Unashamed and unafraid! Jesus Christ truly rules and reigns heaven and earth NOW!

I have posted the lyrics below the video so they can't be missed!



Days of Elijah - Words and Music by Robin Mark Click here to play

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 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 as white in the world
And we are the labourers in your vineyard Declaring the word of the Lord!
Behold He comes! Riding on the clouds! Shining like the sun! At the trumpet call Lift your voice! It's the year of Jubilee! And out of Zion's hill salvation comes!

There's no God like Jehovah!
There's no God like Jehovah!
There's no God like Jehovah!
There's no God like Jehovah! (Repeat 3 times)

Behold He comes! Riding on the clouds! Shining like the sun! At the trumpet call Lift your voice! It's the year of Jubilee! And out of Zion's hill salvation comes!
Behold He comes! Riding on the clouds! Shining like the sun! At the trumpet call Lift your voice! It's the year of Jubilee! And out of Zion's hill salvation comes!
And out of Zion's hill salvation comes!
And out of Zion's hill salvation comes!

This is an absolutely key restoration song. It is fought against tooth and nail by those who hate the restoration vision, but we must keep singing it. It is a faith-building declaration.

There's no God like Jehovah!

Out of Zion's hill salvation comes!
